Dress Policy - The Schoolhouse Network

Schoolhouse Network Tri-Cities

Dress Code Policy created January 22, 2025

Dear Families and Students,

As a Christian homeschool community committed to honoring God and creating a respectful learning environment, we have established the following dress code guidelines:

Clothing Standards:

General Principles: Clothing should be modest, clean, and appropriate for educational settings
Clothing that draws undue attention or creates distractions is not permitted

Specific Restrictions: No cropped shirts or tops that expose midriff
-No mini skirts or dresses (skirts/dresses must extend to at least knee length when standing)
-Shorts must be bermuda length or longer (minimum mid-thigh)
-No see-through or overly tight clothing
-No clothing with inappropriate graphics, offensive language, or questionable messages
-No excessively ripped or torn clothing

Layering: Modest layering is encouraged
Appropriate undergarments must be worn and not visible

Footwear: Closed-toe shoes recommended for safety in activity-based classes
No flip-flops during physical activities

Additional Guidelines:

-Modest necklines (no plunging necklines)
-No spaghetti straps or tank tops without a covering layer
-Leggings must be worn with a top that covers the hips
-No clothing that promotes secular values contrary to our Christian mission

Enforcement:

Parents will be contacted if dress code violations occur

Students may be asked to change or cover inappropriate clothing

Repeated violations may result in additional consequences

We appreciate your support in maintaining a respectful, modest, and focused learning environment that honors our community’s values. Again, just as with the student phones-usage policy, if you have any questions, please see the church leadership and/or its Director.

Thank you!

Blessings,

The Schoolhouse Network Tri-Cities Leadership Team
