Tomorrow: Blue & Gold Dress Down

/in /by

As a reminder, Saint James School will have our rescheduled Blue & Gold Dress Down Day tomorrow – Thursday, February 17th.

Parents, please note that our school’s policy book states that if a student opts to wear yoga pants/leggings on a dress down day, they must have a shirt that comes down to mid-thigh.

All standard dress down guidelines from the handbook apply to Thursday’s Dress Down, including:

  • Leggings are not permitted (unless the student is wearing a long shirt that comes down to mid-thigh)
  • No shorts, halter tops, half shirts, tank tops, and see-through tops
  • Waistbands must not sag below the waist. Pants legs must not drag on the floor.
  • High heels, platform shoes, flip-flops, open-toe sandals, and shoes with no backs are not allowed.
  • Clothing must not be torn, ragged, or have holes.

Parents will be called to bring a change of clothes if students are in dress down attire and school policies are not met.
