DRESS CODE

All students must use discretion and good taste concerning the selection of their wardrobes.  We believe that students at James Valley Christian School should present an appearance that is honoring to the Lord.  The principle of modesty, appropriateness, cleanliness and neatness should be upheld.  Students are to be attractive, not an attraction (I Peter 3:4,5). 

The dress code applies to school related activities, unless otherwise indicated.  Non-fleece sweats may be worn at activities.

GENERAL:

1.  Dress up day - First Friday of the month is dress up day.

    The first Friday all girls must wear dresses and all boys must wear dress pants and shirt with tie (appropriately tied).  Dress shoes must be worn.  Flip-flops are not acceptable dress-up shoes.

2.  Clothing bearing objectionable advertising, pictures, or slogans will not be permitted.

3.  Clothes must not be excessively worn, frayed, or have holes in them.  No work clothes or work uniforms are allowed.  No sweatpants are allowed during school hours.

4.  Tank tops as the outerwear are not to be worn.  Shirts/blouses must be long enough so no skin shows above the waistband of the pants.  No undergarments showing.

5.  Shorts are allowed except during the winter months (November-March).  Shorts-length policy – drop your arms to your side, your fingertips need to touch cloth.  Denim or dress shorts only, no athletic shorts or cutoffs.
