School Dress Code

All students will be in appropriate dress code at all times while attending school at Concordia Lutheran School.

If the student‘s dress or appearance is deemed inappropriate by either the principal or a staff member, the family will be called to provide a change of clothing before the child is allowed to return to the classroom.  Concordia Lutheran School reserves the right to counsel, reprimand, suspend, and even dismiss a student if the student does not cooperate or comply with the school’s standards.

Kindergarten Dress Code

These guidelines should be followed:

1. Children should be dressed in comfortable play clothes. Remember children will be painting, gluing, crawling, and climbing.
2. Children must appear neat, clean, and dressed in a Christian manner.
3. Shorts may be worn from the first day of school until October 31 and from April 15 until the last day of school. Sandals are not to be worn at any time.
4. Boots must be worn during muddy or snowy weather.  Boots are not allowed inside the classroom; therefore, shoes must be brought to school for the students to wear in class.
