Redwood Christian Schools
2011-12 Elementary Dress Code
The purpose of dress standards at Redwood Christian Schools is threefold:
* To promote neatness and modesty;
* To encourage the attitude that school is a place of work rather than play;
* To enhance safety during work and play.
The administration reserves the right to make final decisions regarding the interpretation of the
dress code and to prohibit clothing which it determines does not meet the purpose of the
school’s dress standards. Your cooperation is appreciated.
