Lutheran Northwest is primarily interested in the spiritual growth of every student. We are committed to equip students for a life of Christian service through a curriculum of academic excellence, encouraged through a caring Christ centered environment where God's Word is shared daily. As a Christian community, our school encourages and expects proper speech, dress, and manners. The purpose of these guidelines is to set standards of acceptable school dress and grooming.
Our goal is to maintain an atmosphere conducive to serious educational pursuits. Within the limits of the guidelines, students have the opportunity to express themselves as unique creations of God with various styles of dress and grooming. We strive to project a distinctive, bold, and positive image to the community.
Lutheran Northwest students are expected to observe the school dress standards. We desire that students dress modestly and neatly, that they avoid extremes in dress and conduct that would tend to attract unfavorable attention to themselves or to the school; remembering that as Christians, we not only represent ourselves through what we do and how we dress, but we are also reflecting our Lord and Savior. Parental cooperation is essential to maintaining a quality educational environment. In addition, appearance has an impact on attitudes and behaviors, and research indicates that it is ranked second only to communication in terms of qualities associated with professionalism.
Modesty is important and should be followed closely by all students attending Lutheran Northwest. Outfits that are too tight and/or too revealing are not to be worn. The latest fashion or fad may not fit the dress code. Any male or female clothing that gives a sloppy appearance is inappropriate. Anything that could be interpreted by the school staff as being in “poor taste” will not be allowed. Students are expected to maintain a level of modesty and avoid a sloppy appearance anytime they are on school property; including all after school activities.
In all manners regarding conduct, dress, and overall appearance, the school reserves the right to counsel, reprimand, give detentions, suspend, and even dismiss a student that does not cooperate or comply with the school standards. A student will be withheld from class, at the administration's discretion, if appropriate clothing is not obtained. If there are any questions, please check with the assistant principal in advance as to the appropriateness of the article of clothing. The school administration is the final judge of the appropriateness of all student attire.
