Student Uniform
Reflecting present day societal influences, concerns about student attire have continued to emerge in the realm of education. By giving dress guidelines, the primary function of the school is realized - education of the whole child. To help fulfill the mission of instilling Christian values, emphasis is placed on pride in personal grooming, hygiene, and appearance. Students wear summer and winter uniforms for classroom instruction and physical education. These uniforms allow the children comfort, freedom, and flexibility to participate fully in the daily activities presented to them.
Fall/Winter Uniform
Boys: Boys in grades 1 through 8 wear gray pants, a plain white oxford shirt, a school tie, gray socks, and black tie shoes (NO velcro) with non-marking soles. (Please avoid the purchase of other styles for the boys!) A regulation pullover burgundy sweater vest or cardigan is required. Hair is to be well groomed at all times and it may not extend over the eyes, ears, or the collar. Haircuts may not reflect the extreme or current fad: i.e., either too long or excessively short, spiked or streaked hair. Earrings may not be worn.
Girls: Girls in grades 1 - 4 wear a gray and burgundy plaid jumper with a white round collared blouse, either long-sleeved or short-sleeved. Girls in grades 5 - 8 wear a plaid skirt with a white long-sleeved or short-sleeved blouse with a buttoned down collar. Jumpers/skirts should reach the knee. Gray knee socks and black and white saddle shoes are worn by all girls. Stockings may be worn by girls in grades 5 - 8. A regulation pullover burgundy sweater vest or cardigan is required. Girls` hair styles should be appropriately simple. One small earring may be worn in each ear; large dangling earrings, make-up, and colored nail polish may not be worn to school. Artificial and acrylic nails are not permitted.
Boys' shirts and girls' blouses are to be tucked in pants/skirts at all times!
