Dress Code
Grade School
Students are expected to dress and present an appearance consistent with standards of good taste and appropriate nature for school and school events. Any dress or wearing of insignia which conveys the image of gang membership, supports the belief of hate groups, makes sexual innuendos, or promotes drugs, alcohol, or tobacco is inappropriate for school and will not be allowed. (4303.6) Any student who violates this expectation will be sent to wait in the office until his/her parent/guardian brings proper clothing. Time missed from class will be unexcused.
Out of respect for the educational setting and as an expression of the student’s own personal self-respect, each student accepts the personal responsibility to look clean and neat in accordance with school policies. The following dress code applies from the moment the student sets foot on campus during the regularly scheduled school day. Administration will address any appropriate or inappropriate student dress code issues. Parents of students in violation of the dress code may be sent a notice/reminder of the current dress code. Modesty, neatness, and cleanliness are concerns of our dress code. The administration has final approval of the dress code. To clarify what is allowed for daily wear at school and on out of uniform occasions, the following guidelines were developed:
|
Shirts: Long or short sleeved; solid white, light blue, royal or navy blue polo or ¼ zip performance shirts. No teal or turquoise-colored shirts. Only a solid white short-sleeved t-shirt may be worn under shirts. Shirts are to be tucked in. Emblems must be smaller than a quarter. Pants: Khaki or navy blue. No stretch pants, yoga pants, leggings, sweat pants, low-risers, short zippered, wide legged fashion pants or jeans. Pants must be hemmed with no frayed bottoms or holes. Cargo style pants are not allowed; flat front or pleated pants only. Jumpers & Skirts: Uniform style and fingertip length; khaki or navy blue. No plaid. Tights, leggings or shorts must be worn underneath. Tights and leggings must be white, gray, navy blue or black. Polo-style Dresses: Long or short sleeved; solid white, light blue, royal or navy blue. Emblems must be smaller than a quarter. Navy blue or black tights, leggings or shorts must be worn underneath. Shorts, skorts or capris: Uniform style and modest in length; khaki or navy blue. No nylon, biker (stretch), or jeans. No leggings.

Shoes & Laces: Closed heels and toes; no sandals or boots, even on dress down day. Slip-on flats must be solid colored. Birkenstocks, Crocs, flip flops or sandals are not permitted. This is a safety issue. Loose fitting shoes present a tripping hazard on the stairs. Socks must be worn and must be predominantly –white, gray, royal or navy blue.. All shoes and socks that show above the top of the shoe must coordinate with the uniform. Please try to remain conservative in color choices. Shoes must be fastened for safety. A separate pair of tennis shoes (any color) is to be kept and worn for Physical Education classes. Velcro fasteners are preferred for grades K/1.

No unusual styles or colors. No permanent or semi-permanent hair accessories (e.g. tinsel, feathers, etc.) Jewelry, Tattoos: In moderation; post/plug earrings for girls only; no dangles longer than 1 inch. Please consider daily activity for personal safety. No other facial or body piercing. Students with existing tattoos must have them covered by a sleeve, wrap, bandage, or other covering while attending Mass, out of respect for our older population who attend daily Mass. Make-up: In moderation for girls in grades 7-8. Hats, purses, cell phones, music players or cosmetic cases: None of these items are allowed in the classroom. Outerwear, non-uniform items: During drop-off time, outdoor recess, class transitions, or outdoor learning activities, a coat, jacket, or school-approved crewneck (K-8) or hooded (6-8 only) sweatshirt is permitted.
