Appearance Standards 

Scriptural Principle of Modesty 

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you  have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.Therefore, honor God with your body. ~ 1 Corinthians  6:19- 20. 

Uniforms must be maintained in a clean, neat, and tidy condition and are to be worn and fitted properly. Uniforms may not be modified or changed in appearance and no substitution is allowed. Clothing items may not be ripped, be too big or too small.  Undergarments shall be visible. Students are not to wear accessories that are distracting, offensive, dangerous or inappropriate. Shorts, skorts, and skirts must be at a modest inseam at the appropriate level of mid-thigh.

Free Dress Days 

Free Dress Day is typically scheduled for the last Friday of the month. Our official school uniforms are not required on this day unless that privilege has been taken away due to excessive uniform violations. On Free Dress Days, the following general guidelines should be followed: 

Student’s attire is to be modest and appropriate. Items not permitted include: Torn clothing, exposed midriffs, excessively short skirts or shorts. Tank top and halter top straps must be at least 2” wide. Shorts, skorts, and skirts must be at a modest inseam at the appropriate level of mid-thigh.. Logos offensive to the Christian faith are not permitted. Shoes must still meet dress code. No costumes or pajamas. ​ PacPoint students are required to wear age, weather, and gender-appropriate attire at all times. 

Free Dress Days are forfeited when a student receives more than 3 Uniform Violations within a 30-day period. 

Uniform Code Violation Policy 

Students are expected to be in uniform every school day, except on Free Dress Days and special dress days. Students not following the Dress Code will be given a Uniform Code Violation. A copy of the violation is given to the student to take home. Parents are to sign and return the violation form to the classroom teacher the following day. 

Uniform violations are handled in the following manner: 

  • Level 1: Three uniform violations in a 30 day period = loss of next Free Dress Day. 
  • Level 2: Five or more = Discipline Referral 
  • Level 3:Seven or more = sent home with disciplinary action handled by an administrator. 

An excessive amount of violations within a school year will be viewed as defiance and will result in a Discipline Referral. Further incidents will be handled at the discretion of the principal

OUR PRINCIPAL

and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

Isaiah 61:3 (NIV)
