2008-2009 Standardized Dress Code
PHILOSOPHY
At Kendall Christian School, we believe that parents are responsible to God for
teaching their children in every area of life, including the matter of dress. We
are looking to you, the parents, to make certain that your children come to
school attired in accordance with Biblical principles.
We believe that cleanliness, personal appearance, and modest dress is very
important in setting the pattern of school and social conduct. All clothing
should be modest, clean, well fitting, and in good repair. We believe there is a
close relationship between pupil dress and pupil behavior. Our standardized
dress code is established to remind parents and children that KCS students are
to be dressed neatly and in good taste at all times.
We want this code to reflect our desire to please our Lord and follow His word..
