Dress and Personal Appearance
The uniform dress code is in effect from the first day of school and at all times during normal school hours. School hours start when the student enters the building before school until the student leaves the building after the school day or until the student is required to change clothes for an extracurricular activity. During special events, certain portions of the uniform dress code may be amended as determined by the administration. During extra-curricular events, students are expected to dress neatly, modestly and in good taste. Any clothing which is determined to be disruptive or immodest may be restricted as determined by the school administration. Students are to avoid extremes in dress and conduct that would attract unfavorable attention to themselves and their school. The Dean of Student Success has the final say in all student dress and appearance decisions. Click here for information on purchasing uniform tops.
- Pants: During school hours students are to wear black, navy, gray, or tan pants which are neat and unmarked (no stripes, designs, etc.) The pants should be made of cotton-twill material. Pants made of denim, fleece, velour or athletic warm-up material are not allowed. Pants must cover all undergarments. A belt may need to be worn. Tight fitting pants such as yoga, ‘tights’, leggings, running apparel may not be worn.

Lunch
Concordia provides a daily hot lunch program for purchase through the school’s cafeteria. Students may bring their own sack lunch, or have a parents deliver a packed lunch for their student, but food from outside vendors is not allowed and will be held in the office until the end of the day for pick-up. Food may not be delivered or 'doordashed' to the school. Exceptions for a special occasion must be cleared through the Dean of Student Success.
Students may eat their lunch in the cafeteria, main hallway, auditorium lobby, student lounge, or music wing. Students may not eat in the library or academic hallways. After eating their lunch, each student should drop their trash in the proper receptacles throughout the eating areas. Common courtesy dictates that the table and eating area they used be left clean for those who follow. Failure to meet these requirements may result in a detention, Saturday School, or punishment deemed necessary by school administration.
Concordia has a closed campus lunch policy. Students are not allowed to leave the school grounds for lunch, nor may they have visitors come into school during lunch.
Student lunch money may be deposited into a family cafeteria account. Families may check the account balance online. Students will be given a grace period if the cafeteria account has a deficit. However, the school reserves the right to deny students lunch if the deficit is more than $15.00. Students from families whose income is below certain levels are eligible for reduced price lunches. Specific information regarding reduced price lunches is included with the registration information.
