Dress Code

SCHEF Dress Code Policy 

The following dress code is for ALL SCHEF MEMBERS participating in any SCHEF function. As a Christian organization, we have the responsibility to set a Godly example as well as an opportunity to be a     “light unto the world” in both conduct and dress. 

Please keep in mind the following guidelines as you prepare yourself and your children to participate in any SCHEF activity. 

Modesty Our clothing should be modest. This means that our body parts are not emphasized or exposed and our dress does not draw attention to our bodies. 

Activity Appropriate On field trips, we should dress as would be appropriate for a school group: slacks/shirts for boys, and slacks/skirts & shirts for girls. If appropriate, modest, mid-thigh or longer shorts as well as loose fitting pants and/or jeans may be worn. 

For P.E. or other sports activities, modest, (mid-thigh or longer shorts) and short - sleeved T-shirts (loose-fitting) are acceptable. (Have your child bend or stoop down and tie his/her shoe. Have your child stand up straight and reach for the ceiling. If you are seeing more than you want to in these postures, then so are others.) Some girls and women feel led by the Lord to wear skirts. During P.E., shorts that meet the above specifications must be worn under skirts or dresses in order to participate. For your safety NO JEWELRY (earrings, watches, bracelets, necklaces, chains, rings, etc.) 

Christ Honoring The message or logos/picture on shirts should be Godly and not worldly. If you are not sure about a particular choice, ask yourself this question: “Would I be embarrassed if Christ came to this activity and met me wearing it?” If you are not sure about an item of clothing, it is usually best to choose something different. If a student or parent comes to an activity inappropriately dressed, the activity leader will ask them to leave until they can return to the activity appropriately dressed.
