Dress Code
Students

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6

The purpose of our dress code is to maintain a standard of dress that is neat, clean, and modest. At all times, we try to honor the Lord in our appearance by keeping this standard high. A good rule to go by is this: If in doubt, don’t let them wear it. We reserve the right to determine if the garment is too shabby, dirty, or inappropriate.
Shirts (Boys and Girls):
Appropriate Shirts
- Crew necks (plain or design)
- collared shirts/sweatshirts
- WWCA shirts/sweatshirts
- shirts/sweatshirts with brand name logos (unless offensive)
- sweaters
- blouses
- shirts/sweatshirts (stamped or screen printed) with name of professional team or college teams; no pictures
- shirts/sweatshirts with cute pictures such as animals, etc.
- shirts with Scripture & Bible related pictures
- T-shirts (plain or colored or with appropriate designs)
- sweatsuit tops of all materials
- shirts should be loose fitting and not cling to the body.
Inappropriate Shirts
- shirts promoting one athlete
- shirts promoting music groups
- shirts with media advertising (movies, radio stations, product advertising, etc.)
- offensive words or pictures
-long, over-sized T-shirts
-tank tops with spaghetti straps
- plain white, underwear type T-shirts
- shirts that are too close fitting, low cut or too short

** If these rules are not followed, the student will be asked to wear an oversized t-shirt provided by the staff. If this is refused, the student will be sent home.


Pants:
Appropriate Pants
- denim in good repair; not heavily faded or discolored
- slacks
- neat sweatpants of all materials
- culottes/slit skirts
-Capri pants
-long, modest shorts during warm weather months-must be fingertip length.
Inappropriate Pants
-spandex pants (long or short)
- tight fitting pants that show outline of under garments or outline of body
- pants or shorts with writing on the backside

Girls may wear dresses, skirts and jumpers. “Skorts” that look like full skirts in front and back may be worn. These items of clothing should be modest in length. Sundresses may be worn with or without a shirt through third grade. Fourth graders should wear a shirt under the sundress.
Shoes with slick leather soles, “platform” shoes, and flip-flops are inadvisable especially when playing in gym class or outside recess. Sandals are allowable during appropriate weather.
Boys’ hair should be cut so that it is near the top of the ears, off the collar, and off the eyebrows. “Tails,” faddish styles, or hair art is inappropriate.
Keep jewelry to a minimum. Jewelry will be removed from the child if it distracts from learning. Only girls may wear earrings.
During the months of May, June, August & September, students may wear long, modest shorts that are finger tip length.
Girls are to wear shorts under skirts and dresses during gym class or while using the playground equipment.
Hats may be worn outside only. No wrestling, vulgar or obscene slogans will be allowed.
