UNIFORM  POLICY

Grooming:  We ask the cooperation of all families in fulfilling dress code and grooming regulations.  Unless otherwise announced, the school uniform is to
be worn on all school days.  Grooming regulations include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • All uniforms should be neat, clean and ironed.  No torn or ragged uniforms will be allowed.

  • Absolutely no make-up, fingernail polish, acrylic nails, jewelry, accessories (including wallet chains and excessive hair clips) or dangling earrings
    are permitted.  Girls may only wear stud-type earrings on the ear lobe.  Boys may not wear earrings.

  • No “extreme” or fad haircuts are allowed on boys or girls.  Hair must be of the natural color.  Boys’ hair must be off the face and may not cover the
    ears or touch the collar of the shirts.  The administration reserves the right to determine what constitutes an “extreme” haircut.

  • No hats, visible body piercing or tattoos (permanent or semi-permanent) are allowed.

  • If an additional shirt is necessary under your uniform shirt, ONLY white tops are allowed.

Only in an emergency or on non-uniform days are students to come to school in non-uniform dress.  (In case of emergency, a note will be required from
the parents.)

Spirit Dress:  Spirit Dress uniform consists of the “Buddy Tee Shirt” blue or black jeans and all black tennis shoes for boys and all white tennis shoes for
girls.  Uniform sweater for the girls and uniform sweatshirt for the boys is to worn in cold weather.  

Casual Dress Code:  Days on which the students may wear dress other than the school uniform are considered a privilege.  Students are expected to
adhere to good grooming and neatness on these days.  No oversized or baggy clothes, torn clothing, tank tops, spaghetti straps, tube tops, bare midriff
tops, shorts other than walking length shorts, hats or T-shirts with inappropriate slogans may be worn. Shoes must be appropriate for PE and recess. A
student will lose the privilege of non-uniform dress if he or she disregards the above regulations.  When there is a question, the appropriateness of the
attire will be decided by the administration and parents will be called to bring appropriate clothing.
