Dress Code Standards for 6th through 12th Grade Students

Sixth through twelfth-grade students do not wear uniforms but follow a dress code. Pacific Point Christian School believes that student appearance impacts attitude and behavior. Students should seek to honor Christ at all times, and the matter of their appearance is no exception. Student dress should show respect for themselves, their families, and their school. 

“For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

The general expectation is that students observe the standards of modesty and good taste. All clothes must fit appropriately, concealing undergarments and midriffs at all times. Clothing should not be oversized or baggy or undersized, or form-fitting. Clothing should not be revealing at the neckline or anywhere else that would be considered inappropriate for a school setting. It is the responsibility of the parents to see that their child leaves home properly dressed and ready for the school day. 

Please ask these questions when selecting clothing and hairstyles:

• Is it modest?
• Might my appearance be disruptive by calling undo attention to myself?
• Does my appearance identify with a countercultural group or rebellious element of society?
• Am I setting a higher standard for myself in speech, life, love, and purity? 

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12.

Respect for our Christian values and appropriateness is required:

All decisions concerning compliance with the dress code will be at the discretion of the faculty and administration. Should there be questions regarding the dress code, parents are encouraged to call or email the school administration before clothing purchases or drastic hairstyle changes.

There are long sleeve and short sleeve shirts available as well as sweatpants and sweatshirts. It is recommended that each student have two sets of PE clothing and that each article be labeled with the student’s last name. Dressing out for PE is a part of the PE requirements. Failure to dress out for PE will result in a reduced grade.
