SCHOOL UNIFORMS

Mandatory school uniforms have been implemented in all schools in St. Mary Parish. The information below is a guide to utilize when assisting parents with the purchasing of clothing for students.

 1. Pre-K to Grade 8 White or navy blue short or long-sleeved polo "golf" or oxford style shirts are to be worn by all elementary and junior high school students. "Polo" shirts must have at least two (2) buttons and a collar. Pockets are permissible. Oxford shirts must button all the way down. Shirts must be tucked in at all times. Name brand emblems are not allowed on shirts.

2. Male students must wear khaki-colored, uniform style pants or shorts. Pants/shorts can be pleated or straight fronts. Pants/shorts are to be the appropriate size for the student, must fit properly at the waist and must be neither too tight nor too baggy.

Short skirts cannot be wrap around or have splits in front or back. Hemlines of shorts, skirts, skorts or jumpers cannot exceed two inches (2”) above the knee. Only longer skirts (27" or more) may have splits in back or side. No side pockets are allowed on pants/shorts or long skirts. No external pockets are allowed on pants/shorts or skorts. No visible name brand emblems are allowed on these garments. Khaki-colored jean/denim style pant/shorts, overalls, corduroys, warm-ups, cargo, capri, leggings, jeggings, joggers, and drawstring clothing are not considered to be acceptable uniform style pants.

4. Students must wear solid white, black, brown, navy blue or khaki/tan-colored socks with no logos or emblems on them. Socks must be worn above the ankle and must be visible at all times. (No anklets or footies socks allowed). The same-colored tights or stockings may be worn instead to accompany the uniform.

6. Students must wear shoes such as tennis (including high-tops), casual, or dress styles that are at the ankle or below. No sandals, thongs, boots to the knee, or other inappropriate footwear are allowed. Shoes must have a complete front and back. Shoes requiring laces must have the laces and be kept tied at all times during the day. Boots that are part of a JROTC uniform or vocational course may be worn as required.

 

 

DESIGNATED JEAN DAYS

Only solid blue jeans are allowed on designated jean days. Jeans should not have holes, rips or designs on them. Colored jeans are not allowed. Jeggings and joggers of any kind are not allowed.

SPIRIT DAYS

Students will be allowed to wear jeans every Friday for $1. Colored jeans, jeans with holes, decorative print jeans, and denim leggings are not allowed. Jean shorts and skirts must be no shorter than 2-inches above the knee. Jean days serve as a reward for students as well as a fundraiser for specific causes. If a child comes to school in jeans without his/her money, detention will be assigned. Students must arrive to school with jean money. Parents may not drop off jean money in the office. If students repeatedly come to school in jeans without $1, this is a violation of the dress code, and the privilege will be lost.

YEARLONG JEAN PASS($25)

We will offer a yearlong jean pass for $25. Students with this pass may wear jeans every Friday. A onetime payment will be due at the beginning of the school year. Teachers will keep a log, so they know who does not need to pay each week.
