2017 2018 School Uniform Lookbook & Guidelines
WHAT DOES A UNIFORM POLICY SAY ABOUT THE COR DEO SCHOOL? Our development of a uniform policy is driven by a desire to create and promote an environment of learning where dress is not a distraction to the educational process. Therefore, students are expected to be in uniform while on campus unless otherwise communicated by your child s teacher. The Administration Team is responsible for the interpretation of the policy, and the enforcement of the policy is a joint effort between parents and staff. Below are some principles that guide our Uniform Policy: Our goal is to honor God in all we do. All our choices, including our clothing, reveal and communicate a part of who we are. It is our desire to utilize our Uniform Policy to ensure modest, appropriate dress that creates an optimal atmosphere for learning and reflects our love for God. Clothing represents the vocational calling of a person, and the neat appearance created by a uniform reminds our students they are in a ready-to-learn atmosphere. Uniforms help engender a cohesive presentation of the students in our school. When our students are in uniform it communicates, aesthetically, that they are part of the same team, working toward the same goals. The student is part of a group identity that strives for excellence, and the policy establishes a tradition toward that end.
