The lifestyle we encourage at Fayetteville Christian is reflected in our dress code. Cleanliness, neatness, appropriateness, attractiveness, and modesty are important guiding factors. Because it is often difficult to find school appropriate clothing, students are required to wear school uniform clothing. Cooperation in adhering to the regulations is a matter of personal integrity. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure their child is appropriately dressed. Final judgment rests with the teachers and administration.
