SCHOOL UNIFORM REGULATIONS

A. SCHOOL UNIFORMS

School uniforms must be worn at all times. Refer to the school uniform regulations outlined in our school handbook. Please be aware that a few minor modifications have been made to our uniform to assist with the more frequent laundering required during the pandemic. Modified school uniforms must look as close to standard uniforms as possible. These modifications will be in place through the end of 2020. Regular regulations will be followed beginning January 2021. 

  • Plain white polos may be worn in lieu of the school shirts.

  • Black, dark blue or navy jeans, pants or sweatpants may be worn. These must have no rips or tears, no visible logos, and all must sit at the waist.

  • No changes to uniform sweaters and socks. 

  • No changes to the school shoes - NON-MARKING laced shoes with soft soles and flat heels or black NON-MARKING, leather athletic shoes.

B. HAIR & GROOMING

Long hair on boys is not permitted. Boys' hair should be cut around the ears and may not touch the collar.  Extreme hairstyles (in the sole judgment of the school) are not allowed.  Extreme hairstyles will include any stripes or shaved designs, spikes, tails and any hairstyle that includes hair that is significantly longer on one portion of the head than the rest. Neither boys nor girls may perm, dye or bleach their hair.  Boys who shave must be clean shaven.
