Sweatpants, leggings, jeggings, jeans, pants with elastic at the ankle, skinny jeans, or anthing that falls outside of the "Dickie style" mentioned earlier cannot be worn.  Pants may not be rolled at the cuff. 

     

    SKIRTS

    OUTWEAR

    Students may wear Thomas Jefferson Sweatshirts or solid black sweatshirts over their Uniform Shirt.  HOODIES ARE NOT ALLOWED.  If a student wears a black sweatshirt, it cannot have writing or images on the sweatshirt.  Each class typically has their own sweatshirt design that is sold at the school in the fall.  If an extra layer is needed, the outerwear must be fully opened in the front.  The outerwear must have zippers, clamps, or buttons. 

     

     SCHOOL ID AND LANYARD

     

    All students will be issued a Thomas Jefferson Academy ID.  A date will be announced as to when school pictures will be taken.  After that, the students will receive their ID along with the Thomas Jefferson Academy Lanyard.  All students must wear their ID around their neck.  It should not be in their backpacks, pockets, or any other location.  Additionally, students must wear the TJA Lanyard issued by the office.  Substitutions are not allowed.  If lost or destroyed, students are charged $5.00 for a new ID and $2.00 for a new lanyard.  If a student forgets their ID, they are charged $1.00 for a temporary ID.  The temporary ID must be stuck to the front of their uniform shirt or sweatshirt and must be visible the entire time they are on campus.

     

    CELL PHONES

    Cell phone and earbud/headphone use is not allowed while the student is on campus.  Therefore, cell phones should not be out in the classroom unless the teacher has specifically given you permission to use it for an assignment.  Additionally, students should not have their cell phones out while walking on campus, in the cafeteria, in the library, in the gym, or anywhere else on campus.  Student cell phones should be turned off when they arrive on campus and stored away.  If a student needs to make a phone call, they can come to the office to use the phone.
