Elementary: Uniform Dress Code
The purpose of the uniform dress code is to clarify a standard of appearance that reflects biblical principles of modesty, appropriateness, gender distinctiveness, and stewardship which will encourage students to bring glory to God (I Corinthians 10:31). There are several other important reasons why a uniform is required at Cypress Christian School:
1. To dispense with competition due to outward appearance
and affluence.
2. To de-emphasize outward appearance and stress, in its place,
the need for inner beauty and character development.
3. To serve as an economic measure for parents.
4. To limit the distractions and focus on learning.
5. To enhance school spirit.
6. To allow students to demonstrate a submission to authorities
placed over them.
Popular culture mandates that we bow to fashion. It insists that we keep up with rapidly changing trends. At CCS, we are training students to think differently about dress. By wearing a simple uniform, students step out of popular culture and into a world of serious learning. With limited outward distinctions, students identify with the student body and respect one another for who they are in Christ.
The cooperation of the student and the parent is necessary in maintaining the standards of the uniform dress code. Adherence to the Uniform Dress Code is a family responsibility. Dress code violations will be recorded. Repeated violations may result in disciplinary action. Parents shall assume this important responsibility and leave the school free to focus on its primary goal - building Godly character and academic competence.
