2019 - 2020 Dress Code / Uniform Policy

 An Important Update Regarding Our School Dress Code /Uniform Policy


Please be advised that the Winter School Uniform Policy goes into effect on November 1st .  No more shorts, except for gym class!
It has come to our attention that there is a very wide interpretation of the school Dress Code/Uniform Policy throughout the school, and across the grade levels. By definition, a uniform is a single, unified way of dress. So, in an effort to be fair and consistent in compliance and enforcement of our school policy, we would like to announce these clarifications:

• All sweatshirts and sweaters must be the official navy blue with our school logo, for all grades.

• Leggings are not permitted as part of the school uniform, even for gym class. However, on cold days girls may wear leggings under their skirts to and from school, but may not wear them during school hours. If girls do not wish to have to change in and out of leggings, they may wear the standard uniform pants on regular days, or school sweat pants for gym.

• Girls may wear leggings on dress down days. ONLY IF a long tunic-style top is worn over them that fits the same criteria used for the girls’ skirts and shorts (when the girl is standing the bottom hem of the top must reach the girl’s fingertips.)

• Scrunchies may be worn in the hair, but may not be worn as a bracelet around the wrist.  They must be white, navy, or our uniform plaid.

• Hair bows must also be white, navy, or uniform plaid.
