Consequences: If a student is not in ad building attire, they will be asked to return to the dormitory (or home if village) to change into proper attire and will receive an unexcused tardy if missing classroom time to change. The student must bring a signed note from the dean upon return to class. If a student fails to return to class, an unexcused absence will be recorded.
CAFETERIA ATTIRE: Ad building attire is required in the cafeteria during lunch on school days and is always acceptable at other meals throughout the week. At all other times, general dress guidelines apply. No tank tops, undershirts, sleepwear, or half T-shirts are acceptable at any time. We ask students to wear Sabbath clothes to lunch on Sabbath; however, ties are not required for the guys.
See link for detailed dress code information.
Students will be required to be in school uniform on Monday, August 16, so it is important for new students to get their orders placed right away. You may choose to have the uniforms sent directly to SVA if you would like, and they will be delivered to students at their dormitory (the address is SVA, 234 West Lee Highway, New Market, VA 22844 – Hadley Hall for girls and Phanstiel Hall for boys).
Returning students should already have uniforms from last year and will be expected to be in uniform the first day of school as well (if you have outgrown your shirts from last year make sure you order new ones to have by the time school starts).
