Middle School Dress Code

Download This in .PDF Format

Philosophy

Southfield Christian School permits latitude of dress within the reasonable parameters provided by a uniform. Therefore the uniform policy allows students to make choices in regard to color and style from designated clothing. Jeans days allow students to have a wider freedom of choice.

Southfield Christian School believes that the overriding principles for student attire should be modesty, neatness, and cleanliness. In an attempt to provide a better description of these principles, the school uniform has been chosen.

    Enforcement

    Our enforcement of the dress code is within the spirit of creating an environment in which students develop Christian character. SCS believes the primary responsibility of student adherence lies with students and their families rather than with the school. Therefore, we count on students and their parents to monitor themselves within the spirit and intent of the dress code so as to prevent it from becoming a significant issue. Humility and cooperation will go a long way in helping all of us avoid dress code conflicts.

    The dress code is enforced during the entire school day. The school day begins when students come on to the campus for school, and ends at 3 pm. The school day includes lunch periods and study halls. In enforcement we seek first to gain compliance. Where the infraction can be remedied, we permit students to do so although there is still a discipline consequence. Where the infraction cannot be remedied we will call home and hold student in the office until the situation can be remedied and again, school discipline follows. Students should expect enforcement without any warnings.
