DRESS CODE

The school uniform will consist of a polo-style shirt in school colors (royal blue or gold) with an embroidered logo and navy or khaki slacks or plaid skirt (middle of knee in length), and appropriate shoes and socks. This uniform may ONLY be purchased from School Time, located at 8814 Veterans Blvd., Suites 11 & 12, Metairie (504) 467-6361.

All fifth through twelfth grade students will be required to purchase and wear a school-issued P.E. uniform for all P.E. classes.

All students grades K-12 must wear a school issued ID.  It must be on a school approved lanyard or clip all day everyday. Students without an ID must sign up for a temporary ID in the office and if it is lost, pay a replacement fee of $5.00.

At CCCS, we believe that modesty is an important character trait. The responsibility for dressing modestly, whether in uniform or not, rests upon each individual student and his/her parents. If, in the opinion of any faculty or staff member, an individual dresses immodestly or in poor taste, guidance should be expected. If the student ignores the counsel given or is in obvious violation of the code, the administration may send the student home to change. A parent conference may also be required. Uniforms are optional for Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 students and required for kindergarten through twelfth grade students. Modest and appropriate apparel is expected for all daycare students.

Uniform Requirements

The dress code is designed to enhance good order and provide Crescent City Christian School students with a neat and uniform appearance. Neatness is the rule of thumb at all times. This also means that clothing should be clean and free from tears.

Students are expected to be in uniform every day. Any deviation from uniform requirements is a dress code violation. Violation of the dress code will result in disciplinary action. In some cases, the student will be sent home. Missing class because of a dress code violation will be considered an unexcused absence. Students are expected to adhere to the dress code from the time they arrive on campus until the time that they leave. This includes students who are waiting for rides after school.

Defacing or altering the appearance of any item of the school uniform, with the exception of appropriate alterations required for proper fit, is prohibited.

Crescent City Christian School reserves the right to rule on anything not included here that the school might deem to be unacceptable attire or appearance.
