The responsibility to make academics the primary focus obligates Knowledge Quest Academy to prevent anything which may distract from the education of students. To this end, a uniform policy has been adopted and will be enforced.
Wearing uniforms is intended to promote safety, improve discipline, and enhance the overall learning environment. Proper wear of the uniform also shows pride in oneself and in KQA.
Students are expected to be in uniform throughout the school day.
When a parent registers their child at KQA, it indicates their acceptance of the uniform policy. Students not in uniform may be sent home and further disciplinary action may be taken. Parents are expected to sign the Dress Code Policy and agree to have their student(s) abide by these expectations.
Parent and Staff Responsibilities
Parents have the responsibility to ensure that their students arrive at school in proper uniform. Within the school, the dress code will be enforced by the classroom teacher, other staff members and the KQA administration. The administration will make the final decisions regarding uniform issues. Cheerful, consistent compliance with the uniform policy by all students and parents is expected.
General Uniform Wear Guidance
Students must present a clean and neat appearance. Uniforms are to be of appropriate size/fit, and they must be worn as intended by the policy. A student can be out of compliance for wearing non-approved items, or by wearing approved items in a manner that is sloppy, immodest or otherwise inappropriate. Items that bare or expose traditionally private parts of the body including, but not limited to, the stomach, upper leg, thighs, buttocks, back and breast are not acceptable (i.e. too tight/baggy, too short, low cut or otherwise revealing).

Uniforms must be worn on field trips unless the administration approves otherwise.
Uniforms are not required for any evening or weekend activities unless specified by the administration or the activity supervisor.
