The physical education uniform consists of St. Louis navy shorts, a St. Louis School t-shirt, a St. Louis sweatshirt, blue sweatpants, white ankle/crew socks (without logos), and tennis shoes (without lights or wheels).  From October 15th through March 31st, blue sweatpants and the St. Louis sweatshirt must be worn over the St. Louis t-shirt and shorts.  The physical education t-shirt, shorts, and sweatshirt are monogrammed and are purchased through Flynn & O’Hara.  The CYO basketball sweatshirts are not part of the uniform.

If a cross or religious medal is worn, it must be attached to a thin chain, not to a neckband, etc. One ring may be worn. No other jewelry is permitted.  No make-up, nail tips, or nail polish (including clear nail polish) may be worn. Make-up is not to be worn at any school related functions (e.g.: Cultural Arts Night, Christmas program, band concerts, May Procession, Science Fair, Social Studies Fair, etc.).

Hairstyles

Haircuts for boys and girls should be simple.  No fad hairstyles are permitted; this includes but is not limited to dying, bleaching, coloring, or highlighting one’s hair. Determination as to what constitutes fad hairstyles will be made by the administration. Beads may not be worn in the hair.  Hair wraps, and hair extensions are not permitted.  Bangs must be above the eyebrows for boys and girls. Boys’ hair must be above the ears and above the collar. Girls’ hair must be out of the eyes.  Hats may not be worn in the building, including out of uniform days.

Out of Uniform Days

Occasionally, students are given the privilege of attending school out of uniform. This may occur on specified out of uniform days or on designated NUT/PEANUT card redemption days (Thursday and Fridays).  (NUT/PEANUT cards may not be redeemed on days when the students will attend church for mass, prayer services, Reconciliation, etc.)  In all cases, out of uniform attire should be appropriate for St. Louis School.  Students will be asked to call home for a change of clothes if the administration or faculty deems that the clothing is suggestive or inappropriate.  Students may not wear explicit or offensive clothing, skirts/dresses/skorts shorter than 2” above the knee, torn clothing, excessively baggy clothing, belly shirts/midriff baring shirts, low cut tops, halter tops, pajama bottoms, low cut slacks, flip flops, or sandals. Shorts are not permitted unless they are the school uniform shorts or the school physical education shorts.

Uniform Exchange Program

St. Louis has a Uniform Exchange Program.  Several times a year, parents are given the opportunity to obtain gently used uniforms that have been donated by parents whose children have outgrown the items.  This service is free, and uniform donations are accepted year round.

Lost and Found

We encourage all parents to label each item of clothing and all lunch boxes so that misplaced items can be returned to their owner.  If a child loses a piece of his/her uniform, a lunch box, or other items, please check the lost and found bin.  At the end of the month, unclaimed items are donated to a charity.

The following are unacceptable with regard to the school and/or gym uniform:
