The committee that set up the criteria for the uniform look and continues to monitor it consists of parents and staff members who are associated with the School District of the City of York. The uniform look is meant not to be a fashion statement. The style of clothing is simple enough that parents will be able to purchase the items at the store of their choosing. Emphasis in the Academy is on education. Students may wear boots to school in the winter and take an extra pair of shoes along to wear during the school hours.
Jewelry is to be kept to a minimum.
No t-shirts, no logos and labels will be allowed. As a parent of a York City Academy student, you are aware of the uniform dress code. No t-shirts and no labels will be allowed. Girls may wear jumpers, shorts, skorts, skirts and slacks, boys may wear shorts and slacks, in both the navy and khaki colors. Material of the item is not important.
