DRESS CODE

Students at Spa Christian School are to dress modestly and with respect for others, in keeping with Biblical principles and with care for our Christian witness. When children dress appropriately for school, they are more diligent in their academic efforts. We expect students to be dressed in a neat and clean manner and with an attitude that reflects obedience and cooperation rather than disrespect.

Girls will wear dresses or skirts that are close to knee length or longer, or slacks as specified below. Culottes that look like a skirt and are close to knee length or longer are acceptable, as are gauchos and leggings under a skirt. Tops may be blouses or knit tops, not a t-shirt, and with no writing.

Boys will wear slacks as defined below, and a shirt with a collar or buttons. Shirts shall be neatly tucked in unless specifically designed to be worn untucked.

Slacks for boys and girls will be solid in color (such as black, navy, gray, brown, green, or khaki) and of woven, not knit, material. They will be a “Dockers” or “chinos” style, made of cotton or polyester blend, poplin or twill, and will have a plain or pleated front and a waistband. Jeans, corduroy, velour, camouflage, flannel pants, sweatpants, bib overalls, and spandex or other form-fitting pants such as bike clothing, exercise pants, or stretch pants are not included.

A sweater may be worn over an appropriate shirt. Shoes (not sneakers, not flip flops or beach shoes, and not boots or work boots) are required. Hair should be neat and of natural color. Hair, and all attire, should reflect a Christ-like attitude and should not attract undue attention.

Each student shall have at least one Spa Christian imprinted polo shirt to wear with tan slacks, at the request of the administrator or classroom teacher, for selected field trips or other school activities (e.g. – parades) when a “unified identifying look” should be presented.

Gym dress Code: Students will wear the following to school on gym days: Spa Christian t-shirt and shorts, white socks, and sneakers. A solid, navy blue (no logo other than Spa Christian, no pictures, no writing) sweatshirt and sweatpants or Spa Christian sweats may be worn over this in cold weather.

It is the responsibility of the parents to see that their children are dressed properly, and if not, they will not be permitted to attend class and the parents will be notified. This code is not definitive and the Administrator has the final judgment in interpretation.
