Uniforms
Dear Families,
Below, and on the reverse side of this letter, you will find a copy of the dress code for Emmanuel Lutheran School students. During the recently completed school year, there were issues concerning items of the dress code specifically shorts and slacks, shoes, middle school chapel dress and jewelry. Please read over the guidelines and keep them in mind when shopping for school clothes for the coming school year. If an article of clothing or a jewelry item were worn last school year, and does not adhere to the dress code, it will not be permitted to be worn at school.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school office.
Susan Miller, Principal
