DRESS CODE - Strong Rock Christian School

Strong Rock Dress Code Guidelines

2024-2025 School Year

2024-2025 School Year

The uniform at Strong Rock Christian School is a symbol of excellence. The uniform is a symbol of unity. 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. The Strong Rock Christian School administrators are the final judges of uniform, jewelry, and/or hair appropriateness or correctness. The decisions they make are final.

Belts are required for students in 2^nd through 12^th grades. Boys’ shirttails must be tucked in, unless the shirt is the approved style to be worn out. Hats or other headwear may not be worn before or during the school day. Only solid white T-shirts should be worn under the uniform shirt. Undershirts must not be visible beneath the uniform shirt. All clothing should fit in a traditional manner, and appropriate undergarments must be worn. Neither excessively tight nor loose fitting attire will be accepted.

All uniform wear, especially jackets and coats, should be labeled with the student’s name as soon as the item is purchased. Additionally, all books, notebooks, and bags should be labeled.

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 Strong Rock 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.

The following will be implemented for the 2024-2025 school year:

White shirts will not be an option. In lieu of white shirts, students in PreK3 through 8^th 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 at least 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, there will not have a seamstress on campus, but there will be a list of seamstresses to contact, should the need arise.

The below links to the Picture Guides and charts provide an overview of the new plans for uniforms. Red Polos and jeans will continue to be the standard field trip attire. Parents will be updated with changes during this transition.

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.

General Grooming All Grades

Boys in grades 9-12 should be clean-shaven, with sideburns not to extend below the earlobe. Boys in violation will be required to shave at school and dispose of the razor in the administrative office. After the first violation boys will be charged $1 for the use of a razor and shaving cream. Extreme hair styles, including, but not limited to those with unnatural hair color, are not permitted. Students may be asked to have a haircut before returning to school.

Makeup is to be used with discretion and taste and is not to be used to draw undue attention.

Jewelry must be worn in good taste and is expected to match the school uniform. Personal jewelry should not draw undue attention to oneself. No earrings of any description are permitted for boys. Piercing of any body part other than the ears is likewise prohibited. Any apparel, hairstyle, or accessories that bring undue attention to a student, such as hair tinsel, colored extensions, or clip-on hair pieces, will not be permitted.

Tattoo Policy

Any student who has a tattoo is required to have it covered at all times during school hours and co-curricular events. Violation of this policy will result in the same consequences as those for uniform violations. If a student is at a cocurricular event and violates the policy, the student will be asked to leave or will not be allowed to participate in the event.

Haircuts
All Grades

A male student’s hair must not fall below the ear, fall below the collar, or cover the eyes while school is in session and during cocurricular after school events. No designs are permitted. No pony tails or man buns are allowed. All hairstyles (i.e. cornrows, braids, twists, etc.) should be well groomed and maintained at the discretion of the administration.

Day of infraction: Identifying teacher will send the student’s name to the academy/high school assistant principal. The academy/high school assistant principal will inform the parent that the student must have his/her haircut within 2 days of the infraction.

The following email will be sent by the assistant principal to inform academy/high school parents that their child is not in compliance with Strong Rock Christian School’s hair policy and will receive the listed consequences if not corrected in the time specified.

Good morning,

This morning, your student __________________, has been identified as having a haircut that does not comply with the dress code standards set forth in our family handbook. We are sending you this notice so that you will be aware of our guidelines. He/she will have to have an appropriate haircut within 2 days of the infraction; otherwise, the following discipline guidelines will apply:
