Black tights are not part of the school uniform.  Girls may also wear navy blue, black, red, or green sweatpants under their skirts or jumpers, while traveling to and from school and during outdoor recess.  The sweatpants are to be removed when the girls enter the building.  pajama-style, lounge-wear pants are not permitted.

The summer uniform may be worn from August until October 14th and from April 1st through June.  The khaki shorts and skorts must be purchased through Flynn & O’Hara.

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.

Girls’ hair must be out of the eyes.  Hats may not be worn in the building, including out of uniform days.

Attire for School Functions

During school-sponsored functions (e.g. Science and Social Studies Fairs, band trips, field trips, retreats, performances, etc.), students represent the school and are expected to adhere to the school’s standards regarding appropriate attire, decorum (e.g. no chewing gum), and conduct.  The school administration may preclude a student who does not comply with the school’s standards from participating in the event or future events and may issue other appropriate consequences.

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

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 permitted only if they are the required length (no more than 2 inches above the knee). 

Uniform Exchange

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 Each item of clothing and all lunch boxes should be labeled with the owner’s name.  If a child loses a piece of his/her uniform, a lunch box, or other item, he/she should check Lost and Found.  At the end of the month, unclaimed items are donated to a charity.
