Covenant School Uniform Policy Manual The purpose of the uniform policy is to create an environment where the focus is on learning and developing Christian character. We believe that uniforms show respect for authority and self, help prepare students for the future and help create awareness of those around us. Parents: Adhering to the uniform policy is ultimately your responsibility. If a student arrives at school wearing/missing clothing and/or shoes that are non-compliant with the uniform policy, the student will be given a Uniform Violation Form to be signed by the parent. If there are recurring issues, those will be dealt with accordingly. General Guidelines Uniform requirements are in effect until the student leaves for the day. Each morning, students should arrive at school already dressed according to the policy. Uniforms should be clean, neat and in good condition (no holes, tears, etc.). All students are to keep their hair clean, well groomed, moderate in length and should avoid extreme styles or coloring. If in doubt, please contact the office prior to choosing a style or color. Boys' shirts must be tucked at all times. Belts are required for boys, grades 3-12 (not K-2). On dress uniform days, ties must be worn until the end of the school day. Girls who choose to wear make-up are expected to use moderation. Girls' jumpers, skirts, skorts and shorts must be worn no shorter than 2 above the knee. Shirts and pants should not be tight-fitting and should not reveal the midriff or backside during daily activities. Girls who wear shirts un-tucked must tuck in any undershirts. All under-shirts (boys and girls) must be white. In colder weather, while in the classroom, students may wear sweaters, sweatshirts and fleeces, from the uniform policy or the Covenant School Spirit store listed on our website. Additionally, white long-sleeved polos, white t- shirts or white turtlenecks may be worn under uniform items for added comfort. Hoodies are only allowed to be worn on the Friday T-shirt and jeans days. Lands End This year you will be ordering everything from Land s End. Please use Covenant School s Preferred School Number - 900054297- when making an online purchase from landsend.com. We receive a percentage back to the school on purchases. Educational Outfitters You will no longer place orders from Educational Outfitters. The only items that will come from E.O. are the dress uniform blazers for students 10 12 th grades and the girls and boys ties grades 7-12. These will be ordered by the school and available at the school for purchase after school starts. Size Charts With all purchases, please remember to allow for growth. It is advisable to initially purchase jumpers, skirts, skorts and shorts so they fall to the knee, knowing that the item will soon be 2 above the knee once it is washed/dried, the student grows, etc. You will find size-charts in catalogs and on the website for Land s End. Please contact the vendor if you have questions about fit, length, etc. 3
