Uniform Policy

The Lee Lewis Campbell Elementary Media and Performing Arts Institute requires that all scholars wear uniforms in order to improve student performance, instill self-confidence, decrease socioeconomic tensions, promote decorum, promote school spirit and values, foster self-esteem, increase attendance, limit disciplinary referrals, and enhance school safety. However, the school will honor written requests for exemptions based on religious, medical, or physical needs. (TEX.EDU.CODE § 11.162.)

​To a scholar who arrives to school dressed inappropriately or who is not wearing the appropriate uniform, Lee Lewis Campbell Elementary Media and Performing Arts Institute will lend a missing item (the uniform, in part or in whole).

​​We strongly recommend that scholars’ names be written on labels inside clothing.  Jewelry must be kept at a minimum. Necklaces must be worn inside the shirt and should not hang outside the shirt. Rings are to be small and simple and no pins or patches can be placed on the clothing. Tattoos, facial jewelry, and body piercings are not allowed and hair may not be dyed an unnatural hair color. Non-uniform items like coats, jackets, sweaters, vests, hats, and scarves may not be worn in the classroom. Students may not wear any additional items that are distracting.

​In case of financial hardship, parents may contact the principal or designee by phone, mail, e-mail, or in person to request assistance when financially unable to purchase the standard student uniform. Any student eligible to participate in the national free or reduced price lunch program is eligible to receive assistance with funding for a uniform. Funding for uniform components will be made possible by grants and donations solicited with input from the Austin ISD Office of Innovation and Development, support from our school PTA, the Assistance League of Austin, and generous donations made directly to the school by community organizations and churches, including The Well Community Church and David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church.
