My (our) children and I (we) have read and agree to the IHG Dress Code below: (from the IHG Handbook)
All co-op members should seek to honor God in character and dress (I Corinthians 6:20). Clothing should be modest. Please avoid the following types of clothing:
· Revealing shirts (midriff exposed; revealing cleavage or drawing attention to the bust line; extremely tight, backless, strapless, razor back, tube tops, halter tops or lingerie tops) are not allowed. Keep in mind that movement, reaching and/or exercise requires a shirt that has length and space to follow our dress code in all learning situations.
· Spaghetti strap shirts or dresses are not allowed. (Spaghetti straps may be worn under another top or jacket as long as the straps are not visible and the neckline is not revealing.) Tank top straps must be at least the width of two fingers and cover the bra straps.
· No undergarments should be visible (including through a sheer blouse).
· Baggy pants must be belted at waist. No low-riding pants. No jeans with holes above the knee.
· Leggings worn as pants and workout pants must be paired with a top that fully covers the rear end.
· Skirts/dresses must reach the top of the knee unless worn with leggings underneath. Be sure to check the skirt length from the back…they are sometimes shorter in back, especially while walking or bending over.
· Shorts must also reach the top of the knee.
· Any item of clothing or accessories that may have a printed message or logo on it should be of a neutral or God honoring theme.
· Please be cautious about wearing super high heels at co-op. Not only are they unstable, but they can send a sensual message that is not appropriate for co-op.
Parents should check children's clothing before leaving home for co-op. If you are unsure if something is appropriate, it is probably wise to choose another item of clothing. A helpful reference concerning modest dress can be found in Dana Gresh’s book Secret Keeper (used in 10th grade Legacy). Students or parents not following this dress code will be sent home to change their clothing.
