At Amana Academy, we recognize that there is a strong, positive correlation between appropriate attire, good work habits and good character. When dress and appearance are characterized by cleanliness, neatness, modesty and safety, children generally have a more positive attitude toward themselves and those around them. Uniforms are an indispensable feature of Amana Academy. In our efforts to maintain an elevated standard of personal appearance, promote a dignified school climate, and foster school pride, we have prepared the following uniform and appearance guidelines.

Per Fulton County Schools discipline code, students who do not comply with the school's dress code will be allowed to adjust/change clothes if able, or they will be sent to OTO (office time out) until a change of clothes can be obtained. Classes missed will be unexcused.

General Considerations:

• Each component of the uniform must be complied with, daily. The Amana school uniform is not negotiable and may not be manipulated to accommodate personal style or interest. No changes are permitted, regardless of temperature or weather change.

• Boys must have shirts tucked in at all times, and belts must be worn.

• Uniforms should be neat (no rips, tears or stains) and clean at all times.

Make-Up

• No make-up allowed in grades K-3.  Grades 4-8, neutral colors only.

• Girls may wear nail polish, clear or light colored only

• No nail polish containers may be brought to school

• Due to student/staff member allergies, scented lotion or perfume is not allowed

Hats/Hair Accessories

• Hats, bandanas and ball caps may not be worn indoors

• All other head coverings must conform to the following color and safety requirements - solid NAVY or solid WHITE, with no patterns or accessories, no pins and must not hang down below the chest

• Girls are not permitted to wear chopsticks, knitting needles or hair pins to put their hair up

• Headbands and hair ornaments are permitted in NAVY or WHITE

Jewelry and Accessories (Male and Female Students):

• For safety reasons, "choker" style necklaces are NOT allowed

• Stud earrings only

• All necklaces, rings, wrist watches, and bracelets should be simple enough not to distract from learning

• Sunglasses are for outside use only

Outerwear

• Students may wear outerwear (jackets and coats) of their own choosing to school. However, only the approved navy Amana polar fleece is permitted inside of the building.

• If students must wear a second layer under their uniform shirt, it must be the same color as the uniform shirt, may not hang below the hem of the uniform shirt, and the sleeves may not show.

Confiscated Items:

• Accessories or articles of clothing found in violation of the Dress Code will be confiscated and will only be returned to the parent or guardian.

•   

Statement of Absolute Compliance:

• Absolute compliance with the Amana Academy school uniform is expected. The uniform is not subjective or open to interpretation.

Parents, please refer to the following uniform requirements. Tops must be purchased from our two authorized vendors:  Buckhead Uniforms or online retailer French Toast.  If you have any questions, please contact the school at 678-624-0989.
