1 Woodway Christian School Uniform Rules

2 WOODWAY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY The Bible teaches that both boys and girls are to be modest. One dictionary describes modesty as an avoidance of extremes in dress and action. As a Christian school, this means that our students should carefully avoid any action or any style of clothing that identifies us with the world or that draws attention to any specific part of the body. Therefore, the WCS staff, as well as the WCS uniform committee, has adopted this uniform policy and WCS students, parents and staff will adhere to it throughout the year. Uniforms will be worn 4 days per week (Monday through Thursday). Students are required to be in full uniform on the first day of school and each day thereafter. Exceptions are made on Fridays (see Friday Dress code) and some special dress days. Students will be notified of any special dress days (i.e. field trips, pajama day, etc.). Lands End School Uniforms Follow link on school website All uniform shirts, jumpers and jackets must have the WCS logo embroidered on them by Lands End Lands End embroiders on site Enforcement Policy At the beginning of each school day, a WCS staff member or WCS volunteer will be responsible for making sure all students meet all dress code requirements set in place by the WCS uniform committee. Parents and students should understand that students arriving on campus out of harmony with the WCS dress and appearance guidelines may be subjected to the following actions: warning, issuance and billing of proper uniform item(s), requirement to correct the problem while on campus, or fine. You may view all allowed and required uniform options for boys and girls on our school Lands End website.
