Please review the expectations for what students should wear to OSLS.

Our Savior Lutheran School is a place of student learning within a Christian environment. The dress code seeks to maximize opportunities to focus on learning and minimize differences in outward appearance based on three standards as a guide for determining the appropriateness of a student’s appearance.

  1. Neat and Clean
  2. Modest and Appropriate
  3. Non-Distracting
