CCCS Dress Code

Purpose and General Guidelines

As Christians, it is our desire for students to please the Lord and be a good witness to others both in appearance and behavior. We believe there is a definite relationship between good dress habits, good work habits and proper school behavior. We require students to dress modestly and attractively without drawing undue attention to themselves. Students should avoid extreme and questionable fads and fashions. Proper student dress in association with continual effort for good attitude and behavior are important elements of our wholesome Christian learning environment.
 
The dress standard for boys and girls applies to all student activities (i.e. sporting events, school plays, graduation, etc.) both on and off campus. Administration reserves the right to determine that which attracts undue or excessive attention to the wearer and that, which is questionable and inappropriate and is considered unacceptable.
  • Girls – in I Timothy 2:9-10 it says, “Women are to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly…and by means of good works as it is proper for women making a claim to godliness.”
  • Boys- in 2Corinthians 1:12 it says, “For our proud confidence is this; the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward the brethren.”

Special Note to Parents

Parents are encouraged to guide their student(s) to have acceptable dress at school. Parents of students in violation of the dress standard will be notified and a school uniform may be issued to the student for that day. There is a uniform cleaning fee that will be charged to the monthly statement for each violation. Parents are reminded to check their student(s) attire as they go out the door each morning. Uniform clothing that seems appropriate may not be modest or appropriate when carrying books, wearing a backpack or when the student is bending over. (For example: carrying a load of books may pull a top down in the front. Wearing a backpack may lift the shirt up in the back, etc.) All clothing must be in good condition, clean and pressed. All clothing must be of appropriate size and should not be too tight or too baggy. Clothing, jewelry or accessories related to a group/gang will not be permitted on campus or at any school activity.

Uniforms

We are a uniform school; therefore, we are not about fads and fashions. CCCS has adopted school uniforms for all students to be worn during school hours and during After School Enrichment or anytime on campus (except free dress days as approved by the Administration).
  • Tops/Shirts - Navy Blue, Light blue or White collared shirts are standard dress code (a cap sleeve, short, or long sleeves will be acceptable). Sleeveless blouses and tank tops are not acceptable. Calvary Warrior/Resurrection t-shirts may not be worn Monday-Thursday. Form fitting tops, tops that the undergarments can be seen through; short tops that expose any part of the stomach are not permissible. Blouses and tops must not be low enough to expose cleavage or undergarments. Girls must wear white undershirts under white blouses and shirts.
  • Pants and capris – Navy Blue or Khaki (sweat pants, nylon/parachute type materials are not acceptable). Pants must not be too tight or too baggy. They must be of appropriate size. Pant legs may have a slight cuff at the hemline, but must not be rolled up.
  • Dresses, skirts, skorts, and jumpers - Navy Blue or Khaki (these items must be no shorter than 5” from the ground while kneeling). Front slits are not acceptable. Skirts with attached shorts underneath will be measured as a skirt, not shorts. Absolutely not thin or clingy materials will be allowed.
  • Shorts – Navy blue or Khaki, no shorter than mid thigh.
  • Jackets, sweaters and sweatshirts – Navy Blue, White or Khaki (must be plain). Winter coats do not have to be uniform colors.
  • Shoes – any closed toe shoe, and sandals that have a back strap. No flip flops are allowed.
  • Undershirts and undergarments – must be white only. All undershirts or long sleeved shirts and turtle necks worn under shirts and blouses must be white so that undue attention is not drawn to the student. (it is mandatory for all girls to wear undershirts or undergarments under white blouses)
  • Hair and Hairstyles –Hair should be clean, neat and combed or styled to an attractive manner (not in the eyes, etc.). Hair must be a natural hair color. All streaks and weaving must be a natural color as well. Avoid all extreme or questionable hairstyles. Hair should not attract undue attention.

  • Makeup- Only clear/natural lip gloss, mascara (no eye shadow) can be worn and it must be natural looking.
  • Jewelry- Must be worn in moderation and not attract undue attention to the wearer. Parents- please consider whether your child can wear jewelry without it being a distraction to them or others in the classroom.
  • Earrings- Girls may wear earrings that do not extend below the earlobe or a small hoop. Plugs, dangling or hoop earrings are not acceptable. Boys may not wear earrings.
     
P.E. Athletic Shoes – On PE day’s students must wear PE dress consisting of the Calvary Warrior shirt (in black or gray) and solid black shorts. Students are encouraged to wear appropriate shoes for play and physical education.

Special Dress Days- We expect our students to dress according to specific guidelines given for that special dress day. All clothing must be worn with modesty and appropriateness in mind.
 
As ‘fads and fashions’ come and go, they will not be part of the CCCS Uniform Dress Standard. Thank you for your cooperation! Parents are encouraged to obtain approval from Administration before making purchases whenever an item of clothing or shoes is questionable. Administration reserves the right in all cases to determine what is appropriate and what may attract undue attention to the student.
