Our Savior Lutheran School is a place of student learning within a Christian environment. We strive to create an effective learning space while reducing unnecessary distractions. It is important that parents understand that some of today’s styles, logos, symbols, etc. promote a level of immodesty, disrespect and/or distraction that is inconsistent with the scriptural standards of OSLS. The dress code seeks to minimize differences in outward appearance and maintain a standard of modesty and discretion, thereby maximizing opportunities to focus on learning.

At OSLS, the appearance/dress code is based on three standards as a guide for determining the appropriateness of a student’s appearance.

  • Neat and Clean – Is my appearance neat and clean?
  • Modest and Appropriate – Is my appearance modest and appropriate, not attempting to draw attention?
  • Non-Distracting – Is my appearance distracting to the community?
