                                                      General Guidelines                                                             for all PCS Students 

Our primary concern at PCS is that students dress neatly and modestly to portray the wholesome lifestyle of Christians. (By “neatly” we mean nothing more than one size too large and nothing ripped, frayed, distressed, etc.  By “modestly” we mean nothing clingy, revealing, or form-fittingly tight.) We want to avoid all extremes in fashion, which draw undue attention. We ask parents, in deference to school policies, to honor these guidelines when visiting the school or attending school activities.

Hats and scarves should not be worn in class.  Long-sleeved shirts should not be worn under short-sleeved shirts.  Clothing should bear no advertising emblems, logos, or initials that represent a non-school-related group, cause, or company.  Staff will make final decisions concerning acceptability.

Boys

Hair is to be off the ears and eyebrows, tapered, and neatly groomed (nothing extreme, shaggy, bushy, or with shaved emblems).  Hair coloring is not permitted.

 

Shirts should be tucked in at all times.  For athletic events and school activities when a uniform is not required, jeans and cargo pants may be worn, but must fit properly with a neat appearance.  Shirts should be tucked in at all times and should have collars or be Saints collarless shirts.  Jerseys, army fatigues, and camouflage articles are inappropriate. 

Girls

Excessive piercing or jewelry is unacceptable (piercings in ear lobe only—maximum of two per ear lobe).

 

A girl’s attire should reflect a feminine appearance.  Slips should be worn under dresses and skirts.

 

Avoid these items:      

• hemlines shorter than the knee (K4-3^rd grades) and middle of the knee (4^th-12^th grades)

• slits higher than mid-knee

• snug or form-fitting garments

• necklines lower than three fingers below the collarbone

• sleeveless tops

• tops not long enough to cover the midriff when arms are fully raised

 

For athletic events and school activities when a uniform is not required, culottes (knee-length baggy shorts) are permitted.
