Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the largest change families will see with this adjustment to student dress?

Students, grades 6 through 12, will wear OCS-produced tops each day. Non-OCS wear will not be permitted with this change.

What does OCS-produced mean?

OCS-produced means that it was provided by the school. This includes any athletic or spirit wear previously provided by the school.

When will this change take effect?

Student dress changes will take effect the first day of the 22-23 school year.

Will our lower campus, grades K4-5th, adjust its current student dress practices?

While there may be some adjustments to lower campus dress next year, dress practices will largely remain the same.

Will there be opportunities prior to next school year to obtain OCS-produced tops?

All students in grades 6-12 will receive multiple OCS-produced t-shirts at the start of the school year. Additionally, OCS-produced items are available to be purchased through the school. Also, we will provide a day (to be determined) for students to purchase gently used spirit wear.

No, students may wear any OCS-produced top as collared shirts will no longer be required.
