Dress Code

Memo from Head of School

Dear Parent(s):

On behalf of the board, faculty, staff, and administration of Cypress Christian School, I want to be among the first to welcome you to the upcoming 2010-2011 school year as you begin making preparations for the fall semester. All of us that are on campus preparing for the return of students are excited about how God is blessing us as a school, and we look forward to having all students and faculty back on campus soon.

Over the next couple of weeks before school, you will receive more back-to-school information, in addition to the helpful information you have already been finding on our website and in the Warrior Weekly.

As we know many of you will be doing back-to-school shopping, we also wanted to make sure you had an early copy of the updated Dress Code Guidelines for the 2010-2011 academic year. Monday through Thursday uniform requirements are the same as last year, and most other parts of the dress code policies remain unchanged. However, there are some limited areas that have changed, and we have tried to make the guidelines clearer and more organized in format. Please take the time to read through the attached guidelines. Among the changes and clarifications, you will notice the following:

· Senior boys and girls are allowed to wear dress shirts, as well as polo shirts, during the week.

· Belts are not required except when belt loops are visible or when needed to ensure proper fit of a garment.

· Boys will need to maintain their hair length so it is off the ears.

· “Skinny jeans” should not be worn on Fridays.

· Belts with spikes or “logo” belt buckles are not allowed.

Please feel free to contact our Dean of Students or the Secondary, Middle School or Elementary Principals if you have specific questions or need any clarifications.

Also, please watch for an announcement on when the Spirit Store will be open for the 2010-2001 school year.

As we enter into our 33rd year of partnering with Christian families, our desire is that God richly blesses your home during this school year.

Go Warriors!

Stephen J. Novotny, J.D.
Head of School


In an effort to (a) accommodate our students, (b) to assist our families, and (c) maintain adequate and appropriate uniformity, the following Dress Code applies for the 2010-2011 school year.

The school's dress code is designed to facilitate an environment that helps the school achieve its primary goal - building Christian character and academic competence.

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 limit the distractions and focus on learning.
  4. To enhance school spirit.
  5. To allow students to demonstrate a submission to authorities placed over them.
