Additional Info

Clothing must be clean, neat, un-torn and appropriately sized. Extreme bagginess or tightness of clothing is unacceptable.

If your child is not following the dress code, parents or guardians will be called and/or a written warning that details the uniform infraction will be made.

Parents/guardians will be expected to bring appropriate clothing to the child, or they may be outfitted in a borrowed AACA uniform.

Uniform Swap

The AACA Uniform Swap gives families a way to trade outgrown uniforms with other AACA families in order to save from buying costly new uniform pieces.

Donated uniforms are displayed on a rack at school. Please help yourself!

Additionally, families frequently gift or sell uniforms on a private Facebook group page called Our Charter School Family.
