Dress Code/Uniform Guidelines for Living Water Christian School
Living Water Christian School adheres to a specific dress code in order to foster an academic atmosphere free from concern and stress of competitive dress. We believe the dress code will help to increase the self-respect of students collectively and individually. A consistent dress code provides more time for parents, school staff, and students to focus on more essential activities. A student's appearance should give the impression that formal learning is taking place. All children will wear the designated school uniform unless otherwise specified by the administration for special events and/or activities. Any student not in the proper uniform will wait in the office until the parents are called and the proper uniform brought to the school.
Please remember that student dress code rules apply to all school functions. Adjustments to this policy may be made by the School Administration.
