MPCS Kindergarten-Fifth Dress Code
Click here for the MPCS Middle School Dress Code
Mt. Pleasant Christian School reserves the right to make decisions on what is appropriate to wear and what isn’t during the school year. Students and parents will be given full notice of any changes.
Students are to dress in a manner that is appropriate for a Christian school. Cleanliness, neatness, and modesty are the standards. Dress should not be a distraction to the learning atmosphere of the classroom. Appropriate student dress is the responsibility of the parents. When in doubt, choose not to send students in questionable articles of clothing.
“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”
1 Peter 3: 3-4

If the clothing is too short or tight, we will do our best to find appropriate knee length clothes for the student to wear.
