Dress Code
.
Great friends!  Thank you God!






The dress code is intended for the following purposes:






Behavior - there is a relationship between the way one dresses and the way one behaves.

Modesty

Equality - to minimize social distinctions

Focus - to reduce external focus


The assistance of parents is needed to guide students in applying the principles of the dress code.

Students are expected to dress in good taste as Christian young people for school-sponsored activities both on and off campus.

The school staff, and adults who assist with school activities, are role models for the students.  The staff follows a professional dress code.

Parents or other adults who assist teachers, help with Home and School, hot lunches, field trips, or other school activities are also expected to set a positive example in their dress. 
  • Tops:  Button-front polo shirts, oxford shirts, and turtlenecks.  Only solid colors are to be worn.  Any color may be worn. 
  • Sleeveless clothing is not acceptable.

  • Bottoms:  Long pants, capri pants, cargo pants, skorts, skirts, jumpers, shorts or cargo shorts.  Shorts and skorts must be below mid-thigh.  Only solid colors are to be worn.  Colors are navy, khaki (tan) or black.  Pants are to fit at the natural waistline.
