Dress Code

Modesty and a good Christian example should be the rule to follow when selecting the appropriate clothing. Extreme fads or fashions shall be considered inappropriate dress, and the student shall be asked to not wear them. How a child is dressed is a parental responsibility. Any student inappropriately dressed or unkempt will not be admitted to class that day and will be sent home.

Girls:

• Shoes and socks are to be worn at all times. For elementary students, sandals or clogs are not acceptable for safety reasons. Junior high and high school girls are allowed to wear sandals with low heels, nylons or socks are to be worn at all times.

• In addition to dresses or skirt and blouse outfits, neat dress slacks or colored denim pants are permitted. Belts must be worn if slacks or skirts have belt loops. Acceptable skirt length is mid-knee; likewise, slits in skirts or dresses cannot be higher than mid-knee. Junior high and high school girls are not to wear sleeveless dresses or tops. Extremely tight-fitting skirts, dresses, shirts, or slacks are unacceptable.
