Dress Code Policy

 

All clothing should represent the Christian values of the school.  Inappropriate wording or graphics are not allowed.

Preschool: Students should be dressed in clothing they can easily get out of on their own if they are toilet trained. Trinity Christian School supports the desire of young children to be independent in dressing and toileting. All students should wear clothing that is soft, flexible, and allows the student to run, climb, jump, etc. without restriction.

Shoes should be sturdy, closed-toed, firmly fastened, and have non-skid soles. Platform and high-heeled shoes are not allowed.

Jewelry is discouraged and may only be permitted when it does not pose a safety hazard.
