Uniforms

Lands'End
Good uniforms cultivate an atmosphere of studiousness and decorum, minimize distractions, and remind us that we are doing important work. In our appearance, we show our opinions about ourselves, respect for what we are doing, and respect for those with whom we spend our time. Our goal is to minimize distractions and foster a healthy respect for school, for teachers, for fellow students, and for ourselves.
 
To that end, the school has worked to ensure that uniforms are dignified, durable, and affordable.  All students are required to be in their proper uniform whenever they are on campus before, during, and after the normal school day.  A student who is repeatedly out of uniform will have consequences.
 
The color and type of uniform pieces are determined by grade and what you are able to purchase for each grade level. All uniforms must be purchased from the Founders Bastrop online store at https://www.landsend.com/ search the approved store the by using school number 900195173.
 
All uniform sweaters and jackets must have the child’s name, written in permanent marker, on the interior tag.  Uniform clothing that is not labeled cannot be returned to the student if lost.
 
Please refer to the FCA Bastrop Parent & Student Handbook for details on dress code requirements.
 
General Appearance
The goal of the uniform is to present a neat and studious appearance.  Fads in hairstyles, clothing or anything designed to attract attention to the individual or to disrupt the orderly conduct of the classroom or campus are not allowed. Garments should be clean and free from tears, or excessive wear. No undergarments should be visible. A white, short-sleeved undershirt may be worn underneath but sleeves cannot extend beyond uniform shirt sleeves. Shirts must be tucked in and buttoned all the way up, except for the top button.
Hair:  Hair should be clean and well groomed. Hair should not be worn so as to extend over the eyes. Words, symbols, and designs shaved into hair are not allowed. Unnatural hair coloring, shaving of partial areas, or streaking is not permitted. Excessive hairstyles (e.g., “mullets,” “designs,” “mohawks,” “fauxhawk/fohawk,” etc.) are not allowed. Hair bows worn by girls should follow the daily uniform color scheme (navy, light blue, white, black, gray, gold, yellow, etc.).  Brightly colored and oversized bows that cause a break in the uniformity of the overall appearance should not be worn.
 
Hairstyles for boys should not touch the collar of the shirt when the boy is standing, nor should it extend over his ears. Sideburns should be neatly trimmed extending no longer than the bottom of the earlobe. Hair should not stand higher than 2 inches above the head. Boys must be clean-shaven.
 
Jewelry:  All jewelry should be simple and nondistracting. K-8 girls may wear earrings that are simple studs. 9th-12th girls may wear earrings that extend no more than ½ inch below the earlobe. Girls may wear no more than one earring per ear. Boys may not wear piercings of any sort. Necklaces are to be tucked inside the student’s polo/oxford, and no choker necklaces are permitted.  One bracelet/watch per arm is allowed, but charm bracelets are not permitted. No gauges may be worn in pierced ears, and students may not wear grills on teeth. Tongue rings and other visible body piercings, including nose and eyebrow rings, are not allowed.
 
Makeup/Cosmetics:  Girls grades 6th and up may wear makeup that is natural in appearance and not distracting. Students may not wear artificial nails; they may wear clear nail polish, free from glitter and/or color. High School girls may wear pale, neutral-colored nail polish or French manicure. Students arriving in unapproved colored nail polish will be asked to remove it in the front office with nail polish remover and may receive disciplinary consequences. Visible body tattoos (temporary or permanent) and body art are not allowed. Students may not write or draw on themselves or each other.
