Physical Education Dress Code
Shirt and shorts available at the school ($15 each). Shoes worn on gym days should be safe for physical activity and have a rubber sole.
Non-Uniform Days
Occasionally, we have non-uniform days for the students (including on the student’s birthday). Clothing selected for these days must always be neat and in keeping with the code of modesty and respect that we support as a Catholic school. Clothing should never be tight, revealing or suggestive. Torn and shredded jeans may not be worn to school. “Skinny” jeans may not be worn to school on dress down days.
Additional Dress Code Policies
If a child is not dressed according to the dress code in K-4, the student will miss the morning recess. If the student is in 5-8, he/she will lose their lunch recess. The final decision as to whether or not a child is in violation of the dress code lies with St. Francis School. Parents are asked to be responsible to see that students come to school in the complete, correct uniform.
St. Francis School is not responsible for lost or stolen uniforms.
