DRESS CODE INFORMATION

Bible Baptist Christian Academy has adopted a uniformity of dress in regard to color, fabric and style. Listed below is general information about our school dress code. You may request a student handbook to view more specific information about the dress code. We encourage all prospective parents to do this.

Girls

Elementary girls may purchase uniforms through French Toast Co. There are four different styles they may choose from. It is best to order their uniforms directly through the French Toast Website, (www.FrenchToast.com or by calling 1-800-372-6248). However, sometimes local stores (Burlington and Wal-mart) will carry the same style. If you do purchase them through a local store, please do not remove the tags before checking with us to make sure it is the same style allowed by our school. If there are differences, we will ask you to please replace them with the correct style.

Junior High and High school Girls may wear khaki, black or navy blue cotton twill skirts. They may purchase their skirts wherever you can find them. Although they are not required to purchase their skirts through French Toast, French Toast does offer a straight skirt in the khaki and navy style. They also have a variety of sizes to choose from. The dressy polyester material and spandex material is not acceptable. The skirts should be your every day cotton material.

The following is a basic guideline for your child in regard to the fit and appropriateness of their skirts. These guidelines are for elementary, junior high, and high school.

1. Hemlines of pleated skirts must be at least to the bottom of the knee all the way around.

2. Hemlines of straight skirts must be at least two inches below the bottom of the knee all the way around.

3. Slits in skirts must be sewn closed at least to the bottom of the knee. This includes kick pleats.

4. No “cargo” style skirts are allowed.
