The dress code of Foxcroft Academy is taken very seriously as it supports the mission of the school. It is the Academy’s strong belief that the dress code will prepare students for life after high school, create an atmosphere that eliminates distractions from achieving the mission, and promote pride in one’s self and school. If there is a family that is in a situation that cannot financially support their FA student to meet this standard, Foxcroft Academy will provide the necessary assistance.

FA’s dress code is based upon the concept of “business casual,

” which means a neat and clean appearance. A student will be allowed to wear: pants and jeans (without rips that show skin more than 4 inches above the top of the kneecap), shorts, skirts and dresses that are an appropriate length (not to exceed 4 inches above the top of the kneecap), shirts with collars, appropriate T-Shirts, blouses and shirts that completely cover the torso front and back up to the armpit (in essence the body is covered from 4 inches above the knee to armpit level with straps at least 2 inches wide on the shoulder with no cleavage showing). Tight, form fitting clothing may be worn under appropriate shirts and skirts but cannot be worn independently.
