Strong Rock Dress Code Guidelines
2024-2025 School Year
New Strong Rock Dress Code Guilelines
Updated: March 14, 2024
We shared with you back in December some exciting new changes will be taking place with our dress code for the 2024-2025 school year. Our goal in making these changes is to simplify our dress code and bring unity back to our uniforms. Changes will impact families minimally during the 2024-2025 school year, because all current uniforms will be grandfathered in for the 2024-2025 school year with only a few exceptions.
We plan to implement the following for the 2024-2025 school year:
- White shirts will not be an option. In lieu of white shirts, students in PreK3 through 8th grades will be expected to wear blue polo shirts for chapel. High school students will need to purchase the new uniform shirts for chapel. Uniform fittings and ordering for the 2024-2025 school year will begin in May, 2024.
- Academy students will no longer wear vests on chapel days.
- High school girls will no longer wear blazers, and academy/high school boys will no longer wear ties.
- There will only be 4 approved outerwear items allowable during the week, which must be purchased from the school store. Please check the charts to see which outerwear items are permitted on each day.
- Navy ¼ zip with Mountain Logo
- Navy crew neck sweatshirts with Mountain Logo
- Navy full-zip jacket with Mountain Logo
- High School Strong Rock Letterman Jackets
All other outerwear items and player pack items may only be worn on Fridays with the purchase of a jeans pass.
- Students in PE must adhere to the expectations listed in the course syllabus. Athletic shorts must be loose-fitting with a minimum of a 5-inch inseam and may not be rolled.
Moving forward, our school store (iROCK Café) will be the one stop shop for your uniform needs. Uniform fittings will be available to help make sure students are fitted correctly. If uniform items require alterations, we will not have a seamstress on campus, but we plan to have a list of seamstresses for you to contact, should the need arise.
The below links to the Picture Guides and charts provide an overview of the new plans for uniforms. There may be a few additional changes, but this should give you an idea of what we are planning. Changes that we plan to implement next year are listed in red. Red Polos and jeans will continue to be our standard field trip attire.
Thanks so much for your help with these expectations. We will continue to update you with changes as we transition. If you have questions about the new plans, please contact Mrs. Amy Garmon, iRock Café Manager, or one of your child’s administrators.

All students of Strong Rock Christian School wear the uniform, thus, emphasizing a community spirit. Attention to one’s personal appearance is a matter of self-discipline and is expected of all students. Uniforms reduce distractions, allowing students to focus on academics.
For the safety and security of the students, faculty, and staff, students must be in school uniform while on campus during school hours, and he/she must wear the school uniform properly and in its entirety.
