Achieve Charter Schools

Achieve Charter School policy requires all students to wear uniforms. Achieve Charter School is committed to creating a culture of academic rigor. A uniform dress code encourages this atmosphere. Implementing this policy will reduce distractions and disruptions caused by clothing, make economic disparities between students less obvious, minimize the use of clothing to signal gang affiliation and other risks to student safety, promote student achievement, and create an orderly learning environment. Achieve Charter School offers uniform scholarships and has a uniform closet to support families who may need assistance in meeting uniform requirements. 

SCHOOL UNIFORM  

Achieve’s uniform is a logoed T-shirt available for purchase online: https://diamondsandsilk.net. K-5 T-shirts are navy blue, and middle school T-shirts are gray. School sweatshirts are also available for purchase online. 

Students may wear any bottom pieces that follow the general school dress code. No pajamas shall be worn as bottoms. Sweatshirts, sweaters, socks, tights, and shoes do not have to be uniform color. 

During PE, students may wear (1) an Achieve shirt and (2) bottoms and shoes that do not restrict their ability to participate in physical activities. Shoes must have closed toes and fit securely for safety during PE. Optional ACMS PE shirts are available to order online: https://diamondsandsilk.net. 

Each Wednesday, students may wear an Achieve spirit shirt. Wildcat Wednesday shirts are available to order online: https://diamondsandsilk.net. Students may also wear other special Achieve event T-shirts on Wednesdays (sports jerseys, musical or play T-shirts, etc.).

FREE DRESS DAYS 

Every Friday, the students will be allowed to wear free dress. The dress code applies to free dress as well as uniform days. Students may also earn special free dress passes throughout the school year.
