A dress standard at Platte River Academy has been adopted to further enhance the learning environment of our students. It reflects the seriousness and importance of learning and our pride in being members of this school community. Parents are expected to monitor student dress to ensure compliance with the required uniform. The dress code is mandatory for all students enrolled at PRA. The purpose of this dress code is to maximize learning by reducing distractions for teachers and students. The principal or assistant principal may approve any special need as an exception to the dress standard. There is also documentation in Appendix D of the Family Handbook that outlines the Dress Code Enforcement Procedures. Here is a PDF file with the official dress code.

Sunshine Fund
For any family with a need, whether you’ve been laid off, you’re caught by surprise by an early (or late) snowstorm with no long pants, or your son has just ripped out the knees in his last pair of pants, PTO has created the Sunshine Fund. Families can acquire gently worn items that other PRA families have donated. There are various opportunities throughout the year to purchase used clothing for $1, $3, or $5 at the school. If you would like more information, please email Jamie Sitarz at jamie@sitarz.com
