ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DRESS

School dress is primarily the responsibility of the home.  In order that our students dress modestly and neatly, we have established these guidelines of dress and grooming.  We depend on parents to make sure their child is dressed and groomed in a manner that reflects a Christian testimony.  If a student is inappropriately dressed, a teacher or staff member will speak to him/her and suitable action will be taken.  This dress code applies to the school day as well as school activities.

GENERAL

            1.  Avoid all extreme in dress.  Christians are to be attractive, not an attraction. (I Peter 3:4,5)

            2.  Clothing should be clean, neat and in good repair with no holes.

            3.  Girls should look like girls, and boys should look like boys.

            4.  Clothing bearing objectionable advertising, pictures, or slogans will not be allowed.

            5.  Shoes worn must be appropriate for running and playing on a playground consisting of grass, pea rock, and gravel. Shoes will be properly laced, tied, or fastened for safety. Tennis shoes are best for your child’s safety.

BOYS

            1.  Pants and jeans should be neat, clean, and not excessively worn.

            2.  Shirts should be properly buttoned and shirt tails worn inside of pants unless they are tailored to be worn outside.

  3.  Tank-top shirts are not permitted.  Modest shorts will be permitted only during the months of August, September, April and May if the temperature is forecasted for high 70's or beyond.

  4.  Hair should be neat in appearance and styled so it will not draw attention to yourself or be a distraction to you or others.  Hair length must be neatly trimmed not covering the eyes. 

            5.  No earrings will be permitted.

GIRLS

            1.  Dresses, skirts and blouses, slacks or neat looking jeans are permitted.

  2.  Tank tops or sun dresses are not permitted. Shorts will be permitted only during the months of August, September, April and May when the  temperature is forecasted for high 70's or beyond and must be modest in length.

            3.  Neck-lines, skirt length and "skirt-slits" must be modest.  Skirt length shall come no less than to the top of the knee.

            4.  Make-up will not be permitted.

DRESS UP DAY

            The first Friday of every month is dress up day.  Boys wear semi-dress pants (no blue jeans) and girls wear dresses or skirts and blouses.  This is dress up day and we expect you to wear something better than you wear on a normal school day.  Cold months in which girls may wear dressy slack outfits will be specified ahead of time.
