LOWER SCHOOL
Students in the Preschool and Lower School have two options:
1. Students may order the "TA Official Dress" from Lands' End. This includes boys' and girls' polos' in navy, white, maize, and light blue. Khaki and navy shorts, skorts, pants, capris, and jumpers are also available. Closed toe shoes and socks will be worn with all of these combinations. A navy polo with the TA logo and khaki bottoms will be required on Wednesdays. The clothes from Lands' End can be purchased on their website. When ordering please use the TA preferred school number (9001-0933-1). Tuscaloosa Academy will receive back 3% of all purchases. Lands' End has the listed items that we are allowing for our "Official Dress". Lands' End School catalogs are available in the office. Everything in the catalog is not allowed so for more information call Lands' End or Mrs. Crawford at Tuscaloosa Academy.
2. Students who do not choose the "TA Official Dress" will wear the regular dress code as in the TA handbook except on Wednesday.
Boys: Only collared shirts and turtlenecks will be allowed and should be tucked in at all times. Shorts and pants should be worn with a belt (except preschoolers).
Girls: Shorts, skirts, and dresses must extend in length to the reach of the wearer's fingertips. Shirts and blouses are permitted. These should be tucked in, not bloused unless they are made to be untucked as part of an ensemble. No undergarments of any kind should be exposed. Spaghetti straps, sheer clothing, and any fabric that allows skin to show through are not allowed. Shirts should not expose the midriff.
