Uniform & Dress Code Reminders

Parents are responsible for ensuring their student comes to school in appropriate attire each day.  A few notes to keep in mind as you are planning back-to-school uniform attire:

* Shipping times were excessive all last year due to supply issues, so we strongly suggest you begin planning what you need to order asap.

* Tan uniform pants/shorts MUST be purchased from Lands’ End or Dennis Uniform Company and may only be the style of pants listed under our school’s uniform code.

* Gym Day pants MUST be plain Navy sweat pants (for students playing an SJS team sport, corresponding spiritwear pants – purchased through SJS – are acceptable on gym day).  For the warmer weather, shorts must be plain navy and at least a 5-inch inseam.

* Skorts may be NO MORE than TWO inches above the knee.

* Socks MUST cover the ankle and be white on gym day; Navy, black, or khaki socks must be worn with tan pants (white socks may also be worn with tan shorts).

* Hair must not be dyed, highlighted, or bleached.  Boys’ hair must not touch their shirt collar and must not cover their ears or eyebrows (if your student has colored their hair for the summer, it must be dyed back before the first day of school).

* Remember, students will need to be in their formal uniform for class pictures on September 21st (long pants for all boys, skorts for all girls, and button down shirt with tie for grade 6-8 boys)

* The following jewelry is allowed: one watch, one ring, one bracelet, one thin chain necklace with or without a cross.
— Smart watches/Fitbits are NOT allowed.
— Girls are allowed one pair of post earrings worn in the earlobes.

Our updated handbook will be released in the weeks ahead.
