DRESS CODE

STANDARDIZED DRESS CODE POLICY FOR KINDERGARTEN - 8TH GRADE STUDENTS

Dress Code Visual 

Students at Belvoir Christian Academy are expected to dress modestly, not calling undue attention to self.  Students are to be neat and well-groomed at all times during school hours. 

All students are expected to come to school appropriately dressed. Faculty and staff will enforce the dress code beginning with the first day of school. Students will be given one warning per quarter.  After the warning, parents will be contacted and will bring appropriate clothing, or they will be sent home. 

The following is the expected dress code for all students in kindergarten through 8th  grade (the dress code does not apply to pre-school students): 

  • Students may not use non-dress code passes on chapel days.
  • No hats, caps or visors are to be worn in the school building.
  • Hair must be neat and well-groomed. No Mohawks or extreme haircuts or colors. For boys, the length of hair SHOULD NOT exceed the top of the shirt collar. Eyes and ears MUST be seen.
  • Polo shirt (any solid color) - logos or emblems that promote other schools are not permitted. 
  • Solid color sweaters could be worn along with typical dress code.  In colder weather, solid-colored long-sleeved shirts or turtlenecks could be worn under dress-code polo shirts. 
  • ONLY BCA sweatshirts are acceptable.
