Campus Wear
The standard of dress at Oaks Christian School (OCS) is designed to contribute positively to the learning environment and the commitment to academic excellence and Christian faith. Students should reflect good taste, cleanliness, neatness, and modesty in their daily appearance. The campus-wear requirements are clearly stated so that the students will meet the school's guidelines successfully. The uniform distinguishes OCS students and promotes community and school pride. All brands displayed by students must align with the mission and values of Oaks Christian.
Regular Dress Uniform
On regular dress days, students are to wear clothing as listed below while on campus and while representing the school off-campus. Clothing must be clean, worn in good taste, and the appropriate size and length. Please note that all clothing items worn at school are to be purchased from Dennis Uniform and Mills or the OCS Masry Campus Store. Authorized items from Malachi's Closet may be worn. No other clothing items are acceptable. Please visit our Dennis Uniforms site or BSN Spirit Wear site for ordering information.
At no time should a student wear any article of clothing or carry an item (e.g. notebook, backpack, etc.) that displays an offensive quality or slogan or that does not support the values, rules, or philosophy of the school.
Students staying on campus after school are to remain in uniform unless dressed for an athletic event. Students are encouraged to dress appropriately. Choices made by students should always reflect the values of Oaks Christian School.
