Below you will find our school Dress Code information. Our policy is written with the intent of keeping our students looking their best, and uniform, at all times. The school’s dress code contributes in a very important way to the overall sense of unity as a school community. The dress code enhances the learning atmosphere, adds a sense of pride, and reduces negative competition among the students. Saint John Catholic School students are expected to wear their uniform in a manner that portrays a positive and modest self-image, conveys personal neatness and cleanliness, and demonstrates an attitude of excellence in performance and achievement. All students are expected to be in the full appropriate uniform each day.
Parents/guardians are responsible for seeing that students comply with the dress code of Saint John Catholic School.
The overriding consideration in dress and grooming must be common sense and appropriateness. Those in violation of the uniform and personal appearance codes will first receive a written notice that will need to be signed by a parent and returned to the school. (See below for example.) Further dress code infractions could result in having to bring an acceptable change of clothing to the school or that your child may be asked to change into something the school has on hand for such an occasion. Any questions on appropriateness of dress or grooming will be determined by the administration.
Also included is links to both Lands’ End and Flynn O’Hara for purchasing, as well as a guide printed from the Flynn O’Hara webpage that clearly shows each item of approved clothing. You do not need to purchase your child’s entire uniform from Flynn O’Hara, but this is a great resource for you to determine whether or not what you are purchasing for your child is uniform approved.
