Uniform Policy 2017-2018
Page 2 Uniform Philosophy GENERAL RATIONALE FOR A DRESS CODE 1. Being overly concerned with clothing and outward appearances is contrary to God's will for us as revealed in Scripture (1 Sam. 16:7; Matt. 6:19-21; James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17). 2. Pressures felt by students to compete in areas of dress are destructive to the unity of the school and the body of Christ. 3. Everything in our lives, including our clothing, should reflect the order of the Godhead and the order He has created in the world (1 Corinthians 14:40). 4. Clothing should be modest and not draw attention to the individual (1 Timothy 2:9) and should reflect differences in gender (Deuteronomy 22:5). 5. Our students are serving as witnesses and ambassadors both for the Lord Jesus Christ and the school. Student appearance is a reflection of both. SPECIFIC RATIONALE FOR UNIFORMS 1. Uniforms are a positive discipline in the school. emphasizes the value of a disciplined learning environment. Just as dressing up, even wearing uniforms, is a part of the workday for parents, a school uniform is a signal to the student that it s time for hard work and studious activity. 2. Uniforms prevent problems associated with the subjective interpretation of a dress code policy. Uniforms eliminate any confusion about what is acceptable, modest and appropriate by 's standards. 3. Uniforms tend to decrease the cost of student clothing. Our uniform vendors provide economical and durable items. Often parents need only purchase two or three sets of uniforms to last throughout the school year and often these same items can be handed down to other students. When founding fathers John Adams, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams attended Harvard, the university s credo began with the following: THE MAIN END OF LIFE AND STUDIES IS TO KNOW GOD AND JESUS, WHICH IS ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEREFORE TO LAY CHRIST AS THE ONLY FOUNDATION OF ALL SOUND KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING.
Page 3 Dress Code for Students ENFORCEMENT 1. The school staff, faculty and administration will enforce the Uniform and Dress Code Policy. Interpretation and application of the Uniform and Dress Code standards will be the responsibility of the Grammar and Upper School Principals. 2. Students not complying with the Uniform and Dress Code Policy may be required to rectify their appearance immediately, at the discretion of an administrator. This may include removing the prohibited item (e.g., a jacket or a piece of jewelry), or waiting in the school office while a parent is called to campus with the appropriate clothing item. 3. Cheerful, consistent compliance is expected.
