DRESS CODE

Comfortable uniforms are proudly worn by Christ the King students in Kindergarten through Eighth grade. Preschool students are not required to wear uniforms. There are two different uniforms, which vary by season. A warm-weather uniform is worn at the beginning and end of the school year. A cold-weather uniform is worn from approximately mid-October through March. The school office notifies families when weather changes require a change from one uniform style to another.

You will find a table of general uniform requirements for boys and girls for each season below. You can find additional information regarding uniforms and have the ability to print that information from the school handbook. You can find the school handbook for grades K-8 under the Policies and Procedures heading on this website.

"Dress Out" of Uniform Guidelines:
There are occasions during the school year when students are allowed a "Dress Out" of Uniform Day. Students dress out in honor of their birthdays, school picture day, and when we celebrate some holidays and "spirit days" with a particular theme for dress out. On these days, uniform clothing is not required; however, the following guidelines for dress out of uniform are to be adhered to.

Shorts: Shorts are only allowed during warm weather uniform days. Shorts may not be frayed, cut-off or rolled-up. No Spandex shorts are permitted. Shorts are to be between mid-thigh and bottom of knee cap, no matter the student’s height, or length of inseam.

Pants: Pants are not to be frayed, cut-off, nor torn. Jeans and sweatpants are acceptable. Girls’ "leggings" are not acceptable. Any dress out pant is to be naturally form-fitting, rather than a "baggy" cut, or pants that are tight-fitting to the body’s form. All pants are to be fitted around the waist or hip as they were designed, and the pant cuff is to be above the shoe’s bottom. Final decision of appropriateness is up to the discretion of school administration.

Shirts: Shirts are to be appropriate for Christian School environment. Such shirts that advertise tobacco, alcohol or any inappropriate message to the values we are about is unacceptable. Girl’s shirts without sleeves in the warmer weather must have wide shoulder straps. "Spaghetti" straps are not acceptable, not even if another shirt is layered underneath. Shirts must be longer than the waistband of the shorts / pants. This includes the waistband when the student is seated. Boys’ shirts must have sleeves. Final decision of appropriateness is up the discretion of school administration.

Skirts: Skirts including "skorts" and "culottes" are to be between mid-thigh and bottom of the knee cap, no matter the student’s height, or length of inseam. Final decision of appropriateness is up the discretion of school administration.

Shoes: A tie, Velcro or buckle shoe with non-marking soles are acceptable. A slip-on is acceptable if the entire foot is enclosed. High tops or boots are unacceptable. Tie shoes must be tied correctly.

Note: Hats or bandannas (head scarves) are not to be worn unless on specified occasions, (i.e., Field Day, Cardinal Day, and "Crazy Hat" Day!) Hats are to be worn with the bill facing forward. Facial make-up, "tattoos", and sprayed hair are not acceptable on any occasion. Stickers or pins are not to be worn on clothing (or stickers on body) unless given to student by staff member. Girls may wear colored nail polish on dress out days, (usual colors of pinks, corals, reds). The guidelines concerning earrings on the lobe of the ear only, apply even on dress out days, as well as guidelines concerning bracelets and necklaces.

All clothing is to always reflect modesty which is appropriate to a Christian learning environment. Final decision of appropriateness is up the discretion of school administration.
