Dress Code

Thank you for participating in the parent's vote on school uniforms. We have reviewed your comments and appreciate them. After tallying the votes, we are prepared to announce that Canyon Rim Academy will implement the School Uniform Policy described below (Download PDF of School Uniform Policy.

We understand that this is a very emotional issue for several parents and intend as a board to support the election results. The policy is posted on the website for you to review as you proceed with back-to-school shopping. Most retail and discount stores release uniforms during July and August, so now is a prime time to begin assembling uniforms for your children. We encourage you to shop around now to compare prices and find appropriate clothing. Please direct any specific inquiries about the uniform policy to info@canyonrimacademy.org.

Information about financial aid eligibility will be released in the next few days.
