CSA’s DRESS CODE
ChristianStarAcademy's dress code keeps in mind your child's safety and comfort. It is asked that you send your child to school with a clean body and clean clothes. It is important that your child develops self‑pride. This can begin by the child feeling good about his appearance. New clothes are not required or necessary. Clean and hole-free hand-me-downs are very acceptable by all. Self-pride in appearance, carries over into other areas of your children’s lives (hopefully academic areas). No article of clothing should display any characters that depict violence. Our goal is to help your child develop into a sound Christian, eliminating distractions to this goal can only be a plus.
Parents, please keep the following in mind as you plan your child's wardrobe:
Acceptable Dress
- clean, non-baggy, non-floor dragging (for safety and cleanliness), hole-free jeans (patches are fine)
- shorts in warm weather (Shorts should be no shorter than three inches from the top of the knee cap.)
- skirts should be no shorter than three inches from the top of the knee cap. Girls should wear shorts under their skirts when not wearing tights. Girls of all ages will be sitting on the floor and modesty is a must!
- shoes and socks must be worn in the building at all times
- an extra pair of shoes should be brought and kept at school for wearing indoors only (Please see the list below for shoes that should not be brought to wear indoors. An inexpensive pair of tennis shoes would be just fine. Shoes with nonskid soles work well, especially for younger students. NOTE for Aug. – Sept. 30 ONLY: closed-toe sandals with ankle strap are acceptable. These sandals may be worn with or without socks.) NO OTHER TYPE OF SANDAL WILL BE ACCEPTED.
- clear nail polish and clear lip gloss
- hair should be clean and neatly groomed (Style and color should not be a distraction.)
Unacceptable Dress
- cowboy boots (acceptable for outdoor wear only)
- sandals or any open-toe shoe (not acceptable for indoor or outdoor), with the above exception
- clogs without a heel strap (Students frequently use the stairways and we want them to maneuver the steps safely.)
- belly shirts, muscle or tops with narrow straps, fish-net tops, tight tops or tight pants, (Modesty is a priority at CSA. This should not be looked upon as a negative but a blessing for all. As Christians, it is our duty not to lead others into temptation - WWJD.)
- colored nail polish, rings (exception: one solid band ring will be allowed per hand), or large hoop earrings
- Since our goal is to help your child develop into a sound Christian, eliminating the distraction of excessive jewelry can only be a plus.
- no face, hair, or body glitter or sparkles
- any face makeup that hides God’s gift of natural beauty (any makeup that’s worn should be so light and natural it’s not even noticeable.)
The staff has agreed to abide by this same dress code, striving to be good examples to the students.
