Uniform Policy for Grades K- 8 (Scroll down to bottom of this page for the Preschool Dress Code)

The school uniform is mandatory for all students in grades K through 8.  Wearing uniforms reminds the students that school is a special place for learning.  Cleanliness of uniforms worn in school is a reflection of the respect children have for themselves, so parents are asked to help assist their children in maintaining a level of neatness.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, students will wear gym uniforms as outlined below.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, students will wear regular uniforms with option of any color polo shirt or white dress shirt. Girls may wear a skort or jumper.  Students may wear pants (or shorts, weather permitting 4/15-10/15).

Mass: Any days we attend Mass, students will wear regular uniforms (no shorts) and white blouse/dress shirt for Mass attendance.  Students can change into gym clothes for Science Exploration or Gym class should they wish.

Regular uniforms must also be worn on Holy Days;  gym uniforms will be worn on field trips unless otherwise noted.

Uniforms can be purchased through the French Toast Company www.frenchtoast.com. French Toast uniforms can also be found online and through retailers such as Kmart, JC Penney and Target.  We have a number of uniform pieces in our gently used collection.  Please call the school office for more information.

Uniform Code Enforcement
Personal appearance is the responsibility of each student, supported and guided by the home and school. The school uniform should always be worn with pride. Students out of uniform will be reminded of the school’s policy by the classroom teacher or office staff the first time.  Repeated violations may require the teacher and/or office staff to send a note home informing parents of the violation and asking them to keep their child/children in compliance.

Casual Dress or NUT (No Uniform Today!)
Students are allowed to wear neat, casual clothing on dress-down days. Pants and jeans should fit at the waist and be free of holes and frayed edges. Shirts are not to carry inappropriate pictures, logos, or slogans. Skirts and shorts must be of appropriate length. Leggings may only be worn if a top covers the leggings to the mid-thigh. Tops should have modest necklines and should cover the midriff.  Flip-flops, open-toed or open-backed shoes and tank tops are not allowed. Any student appearing at a dress down day with unacceptable attire will be sent to the uniform closet for a change of clothing. If you think maybe you should not wear it, err on the side of caution and wear something not in question. We request that you not use NUT day passes on Mass days. Students are allowed a NUT day for their birthday or half birthday and can earn them throughout the year.

Preschool Dress Code
Students should dress appropriately for an active school day with safety always in mind and dress to engage in playful activities. Clothing should be able to be manipulated personally by the child and should not require teacher intervention. All students must wear sneakers/athletic/durable shoes. Safety should be the first thing you think about when picking out your child’s/children’s shoe attire. In cold weather please make sure your child/children are prepared to go outside with a warm coat, hats, gloves, boots etc. Dresses should be worn with shorts underneath for modesty.
