Dress

Any article of clothing, accessory or jewelry deemed by the teacher to be unsafe, detracting or impeding to the performance of the students is not permitted.

School Dress Code

Our standards for dress and grooming are in keeping with the high Christian ideals which we seek to establish in those who attend our school. The following guidelines do not attempt to embrace every conceivable situation in the realm of dress but are meant to provide a standard for parents, faculty and students.

Our concern is that students should appear well-groomed and properly attired as is appropriate to the situation. Staff have the right to warn students who are not following these guidelines or the spirit thereof, and take action as they deem necessary.

Scriptural Support for a dress code may be found in:
1 Timothy 2: 9-19
1 Peter 3: 3-4
1 Timothy 4: 12
