Uniform Dress Code
Parents can purchase student uniforms at many area
stores. Uniforms are also available for catalog order at www.landsend.com/school.
Use the school's order #9000-7892-4. The school's logo is
#02820534K.
As one part of the overall standards of the school,
the following requirements are based on these values and goals:
· Moderation.
· To keep the focus on learning.
· To reduce “label” competition.
· To make daily preparation for school easier on
parents and children.
· Neat appearance is an important component of our
learning environment.
· It is good to allow freedom within limits.
· The appearance of students and staff should
reflect positively on the school.
Styles change. No policy can cover every present or
future possibility. So, the school administration has authority to make
decisions with respect to attire in keeping with the values of this
school. It is best to direct questions to the school administration before
the purchase of questionable clothing.
No required dress code can satisfy every person
affected by those requirements. Parents are encouraged to help their
children see that successful living and working with others takes
accommodations to the expectations of others so long as the ways of God
are not involved. This is an important life skill related to family,
marriage, friendships and employment.
