STUDENT UNIFORM DRESS CODE
It is the belief of Trinity Lutheran School that appearance and attire does affect a person's attitude and behavior.
All clothing should be modest and in good taste – to the glory of God.
Our dress regulations and appearance requirements are set out by the following guidelines.
All students will be expected to follow these guidelines.
