The dress standards that follow for our Kindergarten through Eighth Grade students are intended to express these biblical standards and principles. Parents are responsible for seeing that their children are dressed properly when they leave for school. The dress code at CCS is to be observed each day during the school year, for all school programs and performances outside school, field trips, etc., unless the school has informed parents otherwise.

The High School Dress Code can be found on the High School Page

Friday’s Dress Code

 Free Dress Days (every Friday)

Free dress days are permitted every Friday. Clothing must be clean, modest, and appropriate for school wear. Jeans, sweatpants, leggings paired with fingertip-length shirts, hoodies, dresses, and skirts are permitted. Shirts may not have inappropriate pictures or writing. Low rise, tight jeans, or jeans with holes are not acceptable. The same modesty guidelines listed above apply to Free Dress Day. 

CCS reserves the right to make the final decision in questionable areas of dress code. Parents may be called to bring appropriate clothing when students do not follow the dress code. Students in junior high who are not within the dress code will receive a demerit. Elementary students are required to wear designated coordinated dress on a daily basis. If a child receives 3 dress code violations in a quarter, they will receive a behavior notice. Each subsequent violation during that quarter will result in a detention.
