Dear Students and Parents,
The Student Appearance Standards Committee has published its revised guidelines for the 2023-2024 school year. Several changes have been made to our Student Appearance Standards, including revised guidelines for enforcement. Please review the revised Standards carefully before making plans and new purchases for the coming year.
A link to the 2023-2024 Student Appearance Standards is provided below. This year’s changes include:
- Students are permitted to wear CVCA polos, quarter-zips, sweatshirts, and hoodies each day.
- T-shirts (both long and short-sleeved) are only permitted on Spirit Wear Fridays.
- Shorts are no longer permitted to be worn.
- Please see the revisions under the “pants” section for acceptable options.
- Lastly, all students are asked to wear athletic tennis shoes to school.
Our standards were set by the combined efforts of many people. The Standards Committee interviewed students, parents, administrators, teachers, staff members, and professionals in other private schools and implemented many of their suggestions. It is our hope that our Student Appearance Standards will assist us in fulfilling our mission of Educating and Cultivating Servants for Christ.
We desire to provide reasonable appearance standards that reflect our guiding principles of modesty, neatness, and unity. It is our intention that student apparel be easy for students to wear, easy for parents to purchase, and easy for CVCA to supervise.
Success with these standards requires the support of everyone in the CVCA community. While we have taken care to be clear and precise, no list of standards can cover every possibility. We realize that there will be unforeseen circumstances whenever appearance standards are implemented. In light of this, the Administration will make the final decision concerning student appearance compliance should specific issues arise.
Thank you for carefully reviewing the Student Appearance Standards before making plans and new purchases for the upcoming school year.
