CENTRAL SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY

There is a close relationship between performance and appearance. It is our belief that students will achieve and develop their potential in proportion to how they view themselves. A dress code is another form of discipline that will aid the student in forming a self-disciplined, Christ-like character.  Students are expected to show respect for themselves and the school by honoring the following guidelines.  The administration and teachers of Central School will maintain and enforce the dress code at both school and school-related functions.  Uniforms may be purchased at uniform stores such as Sports World, Yearwood’s, or Sears.  They may also be ordered online from www.frenchtoast.com (1-800-373-6248), www.sportsworlduniforms.com, www.Sears.com (keyword: uniform), or www.landsend.com.  Please use our uniform guidelines to assist you in making your purchases.
