  12. Dress Code Oakview Preparatory School advocates simplicity, modesty and appropriateness in dress for staff and student at all school and church occasions. Uniforms are required for classes at all times. Gym attire and sneakers are required for Physical Education classes. “Non-scuff” shoes required. (No sneaker or shoe with wheels ) “No education can be complete that does not teach right principles in regard to dress. Without such teaching, the work of education is often retarded and perverted. Love of dress and devotion to fashion, are among the teacher’s most formidable rivals and most effective hindrance.” Education p. 246. 1. Every pupil is expected to wear the school uniform and to come to school clean and neat in person and clothing. 2. The Bible teaches modesty in dress and children should be clothed so as to preserve this standard. 3. Every parent is expected to co-operate in discouraging the wearing of jewelry and the use of colorful cosmetics. 4.
