DRESS CODE

Students at Black Hills Christian Academy should be dressed in an attractive, conservative manner that demonstrates that attending school is an important function. Students are to dress attractively but not be an attraction. All clothing should be MODEST, clean, pressed, and well fitting (not overly loose or tight and certainly not sloppy).

Students should dress comfortably and layer clothing to be prepared for all weather conditions.
If the weather is cold, please have young ladies wear tights under their dresses. In cold weather, appropriate winter wear is required, including coat, hat, mittens or gloves, snowpants, and boots. In wet weather, mud boots are required.

Jeans, t-shirts and sweatshirts are welcome. Please see that they are clean and not ripped.
No hats or caps are to be worn in the classroom or buildings.
Earrings will only be accepted on female ears.
Shoes with laces must be laced and tied at all times.
Hair needs to be clean and well groomed and a natural hair color.
Students, especially those entering adolescence, need to shower regularly.
During a school sponsored event that warrants swim wear, female students should wear a one-piece suit, but if that is not possible, then a T-shirt may be worn to cover a two-piece suit. Male students will need to wear œboxer-type  swim suits.
A student's wardrobe should not over use any specific color ( œcolor  emphasis could be construed as a relationship to a gang).
Offensive or inappropriate slogans on clothing are not acceptable.
Shirts should have sleeves. No tank tops or spaghetti straps.
Shorts for boys and girls, and girls' skirts and dresses are not to be more than five inches above the knee when measured from the floor while kneeling.
Waistbands are to be no lower than the top of the hipbone.
No spandex-type (skin tight) pants or pajama bottoms will be allowed.

We trust that you and your student will appreciate this comfortable, neat appearance code. Please see that your student complies with these standards as violations cause loss of valuable class time. Students in violation may be sent home to change or a parent may be called to bring in a change of clothing.
