Uniform Dress and General Dress Requirements (1 Peter 3:3-4)
Each student is required to wear uniform clothing to school each day unless otherwise indicated. Approved uniform clothing can be purchased from any department store (Lands End, Target, Old Navy, etc.) and must be free of any logo, graphic, or name brand other that the school logo. Additional shirts and other apparel will be available for purchase throughout the year. Students can wear the “spirit wear” t-shirts on Fridays with a school uniform pant or skirt. Ripped, torn, and tattered clothing is not permitted, even on free dress days. All clothing must fit (not too baggy and not too tight).
Polos-Students are required to wear a school uniform polo shirt Monday - Thursdays. Oxford shirts do not qualify as polos. This means the polo is logo-free. Acceptable polo colors are white, navy, burgundy, and grey. Students may also wear their GCS polo during the week. GCS requires school polos to be worn on field trips.
Sweatshirts & Fleece Jackets – Only GCS sweatshirts or GCS jackets will be permitted to be worn during the school day. A collar shirt must be worn underneath sweatshirts.
Cardigan Sweaters: GCS sells a branded longer cardigan sweater for girls.
Spirit Wear- Students may purchase Grace Christian School long or short sleeve t-shirts. The spirit wear t-shirts may be worn only on Fridays with uniform pants or shorts. Following spring break, spirit wear may be worn daily to school with a uniform pant/short/skirt.
Pants & Shorts -
Boys – Boys may wear khaki style or corduroy pants and shorts with no more than four pockets (no cargo pants or shorts). Jeans are not permitted unless otherwise noted. Acceptable colors include shades of khaki, navy, burgundy, and grey.
Girls – Girls may wear khaki-style or corduroy pants, capris, or shorts with no more than four pockets (no cargo styles). Uniform shorts must be mid-thigh/fingertip in length. Colored jeans/denim are not permitted. Acceptable colors include shades of khaki, navy, burgundy, and grey. Uniform skirts and dresses are permitted and must be mid-thigh/fingertip in length. Shorts must be worn underneath skirts and dresses; these should be fitted shorts that resemble athletic wear—not undergarments. Skorts are also permitted. Skirts and dresses must be solid in color unless purchasing a burgundy plaid skirt from Lands’ End. Tights and leggings in burgundy, navy, or grey may be worn under skirts or dresses.
Shoes & Socks – Students are to wear neat shoes such as dress shoes, athletic shoes or boat shoes to school each day. Shoes must be in conservative colors such as navy, brown, black, or other muted like colors (no solid neon color athletic shoes). Open toe, backless, heels, boots, flip-flops, Uggs, Birkenstocks, etc. are not permitted. Socks are to be plain white, black, khaki, grey or navy. Following spring break, seniors are extended the privilege of wearing shoes of their choosing.
