NO LOGO? NO PROBLEM!

A Uniform Update for PRAA Families

Dear Park Ridge Achievement Academy Families,

We have heard from several families who have experienced challenges getting the City of Baker School System logo placed on their child’s uniform shirts.

We never want a uniform logo to be the reason a student misses school.

FOR THE 2026–2027 SCHOOL YEAR

The City of Baker logo will be OPTIONAL during this transition year.

Students may attend school in the appropriate solid-color uniform shirt with or without the City of Baker logo.

🔴 ELEMENTARY STUDENTS (Pre-K–5)
RED SHIRTS

⚫ MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS (6–8)
BLACK SHIRTS

ALREADY HAVE THE LOGO? YOU’RE ALL SET!

Families who have already purchased shirts with the City of Baker logo are fully prepared and will not need to make any changes. Thank you for preparing early and supporting our uniform expectations.

MOVING FORWARD

We are phasing in the City of Baker logo to give every family adequate time and flexibility to prepare. We truly appreciate the families who have already purchased logoed shirts and thank you for your continued support.

For this year, our priority is simple:

COME TO SCHOOL. BE ON TIME. BE READY TO LEARN.

Please do not keep your child home because their shirt does not yet have a logo. We want every student at school, every day!
