Dress Code
532 Dress Code (Middle/High School)
Central Wisconsin Christian School seeks to promote excellence in all areas of education, including dress. How students dress reveals much about their attitude toward life, respect for themselves, for their peers and for God. What we wear is one of the first things others notice about us and will definitely contribute to the first impression we make. Our dress is reflective of our cultural perception and how we desire to be perceived by others. Our dress can suggest that we are aligned with a Christian worldview or a secular worldview. If we desire to represent a Christian worldview, we will dress in a way that appropriately reflects Jesus Christ’s presence in our lives (Ephesians 5:3; 2 Timothy 2:22). Student dress should reflect Christian values of modesty and good taste.
Specifics:
1. Students must wear shoes or sandals at all times.
2. Hair length will be left to the discretion of parents, but at no time should the front be of such a length that hair obscures vision. Hair should be clean and neat at all times. Male facial hair should be kept neatly trimmed.
3. Hats (caps, bandanas, hoods, other headwear) are not allowed in school during the school day.
4. Clothing which advertises non-Christian bands, violent media, particular messages, pictures, and other items that are inconsistent with Christian values may not be worn to school or during school functions or events.
5. No clothing should be too tight (“yoga pants”). Leggings / tights (no lace or fishnet) are allowed under shorts and skirts of appropriate lengths. Skirts and dresses must extend to mid-thigh and one must wear leggings or spandex underneath. School is not the place for short dresses and skirts without leggings or spandex. (Fall 2022, trial)
