Dress Code
The basis for the dress code is the scriptural guideline of modesty and respect for authority. Student appearance should enhance a Chrisitian's testimony of life adhering to Biblical principles, rather than worldly standards. We ask for the cooperation of both parent and student in this matter of school dress. The following guidelines will be enforced during school hours. After school activities still require adherence to the principles of modesty, neatness, cleanliness, and respect for authority.
- All clothing and accessories are to be modest, neat, clean, and in good repair.
- No hats or caps are to be worn in any building.
- Collared shirts must be worn. Only the top button may be unfastened. All boys will wear belts with shirttails tucked in pants. (Colors are Light Blue, Royal Blue, White, or Black) Turquoise is NOT light blue.
- Khaki or Black shirts, shorts, capri pants, and pants may be worn, Skirts and shorts must be knee length, No denim or knit.
- No opened toed shoes or high heels will be allowed. Shoes with open backs are permitted (Birkenstocks™, Crocs™).
- Hair must be neat, clean, moderate, and in good taste, No extreme hairstyles. (For Example: unnatural hair colors or shaved heads) For boys, hair should not extend below the collar, eyebrows or middle of the ear.
- The face must be clean shaven. Side-burns should not go below the earlobe.
- No visible body piercing or tattoos (permanent or temporary) are permissible for boys or girls. Girls may wear modest ear jewelry.

Consequences
Our expectation is that all parents will ensure that their child comply with the intent and the details of our dress code. Students that are in violation of the dress standards will be notified by the administration. Students not in compliance may experience the following consequences:
- Verbal correction to the student.
- Note to the parent with specific violations.
- Call to parent to bring proper dress code items.
- As in all conduct issues, repeat offenses may require parent conferences, detention, spanking, or additional correction.

Cell phones on school grounds should be left in the car or at the front office. CD/MP3 players, tape players, radios, and handheld games should not be taken to off-campus events as a general rule. Cell phone use on school trips should be restricted to non-social calls.
