Dress Code Principles:

Principle #1 Students should wear apparel and accessories that are inoffensive to our Christian standards.

Principle #2 Students should dress appropriately for school.

Principle #3 Students should dress with modesty and restraint.

Principle #4 Hairstyles should reflect moderation and careful grooming. Boys hair must be kept above their shirt collar.

Principle #5 Shoes must be worn at all times.

Principle #6 During the warm weather months of May, June, August, and September, wearing shorts is allowed. If there are days when the temperature is predicted to be above 80 degrees in either April or October, shorts will be allowed.

Principle #7 Girls are not to wear make-up during school hours. Boys are not allowed to wear earrings.

Because everyone has similar clothing, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you mark your child's clothing with their name.
