STUDENT DRESS CODE
LCA students are required to dress in accordance with the Llano Christian Academy Dress Code. The standardized dress code is intended to serve as a tool to create an atmosphere free from distraction. It serves to dispense with competition due to outward appearance and affluence; it de-emphasizes outward appearance in favor of inner beauty and character; it serves as an economic measure for parents; it enhances school spirit; and it allows students to demonstrate a submission to authority.
LCA considers it the parents’ responsibility to assure that the student comes to school dressed in accordance with the LCA Dress Code. Violations of the Dress Code will be subject to progressive disciplinary action. Minor infractions and first time violations result in a written note or verbal request to the parents(s) asking for cooperation. In all disciplinary situations, LCA’s goal will be to gain parental cooperation in achieving compliance with the Dress Code.
Students need to be fully dressed in proper school clothing when they arrive at school.
