Dress Code Standards for Junior High 

Students in junior high do not wear uniforms but follow a dress code. 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. 

Please ask these questions when selecting clothing and hairstyles: 

  1. Is it modest? 
  2. Might my appearance be disruptive by calling undo attention to myself? 
  3. Does my appearance identify with a countercultural group or rebellious element of society? 
  4. 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 prior to clothing purchases or drastic hairstyle changes.

Dress Code Violations: 

If a student is out of dress code during the school day, he/she will be instructed to change into appropriate attire and may receive a Discipline Notice. Teachers and administration will work with the student to resolve the issue as promptly as possible so the student may return to class. Students may not be allowed to attend class if they are out of compliance with Pacific Point Christian Schools dress code.

The student will be responsible for making up any missed work and may receive “late credit” since the time missing class is unexcused. If a student is out of dress code more than once on the same day, or becomes a habitual offender, he or she will be considered willfully disobedient and further consequences will result. Such consequences include: the student may be sent home, given lunch cleanup, detention, etc. Administration reserves the right to determine the appropriate modest attire for each individual situation.

Junior High PE Uniforms: 

Junior High (grades 6-8)  are required to dress out for PE class. Parents will be sent a link from which they will be able to purchase PE uniforms from our online provider . 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.  

All articles of PE clothing must be neat and cleaned on a regular basis. They must not be torn, baggy, frayed, or show excessive wear. Socks and athletic shoes are required for PE.

OUR PRINCIPAL

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
