Dress Code

The purpose of uniforms is to make sure that all of our students are equal in outer appearances. We ask that you help to make sure that the policies are followed. Uniforms are to be worn beginning August 14, 2017. Parents are to purchase uniforms from NELA Scrubs on Forsythe Ave. or School Time (www.schiros.com). Cubs, Brownies, and Scouts may wear their organization’s uniform when they are to go directly to one of their functions after school.

On Mass days, girls in PreK3 – 3rd must wear the jumper with white blouse. Girls in 4th – 6th must wear plaid skirt with sailor blouse and tie. Boys must wear blue pants with belt and white oxford shirt. The oxford may have short or long sleeves. The oxford is only for Mass days. BOYS IN GRADES 4-6 ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR THE RED & BLUE STRIPED TIE ON MASS DAYS. THESE TIES ARE AVAILABLE AT NELA Scrubs or SCHOOL TIME. BOYS IN GRADES PREK3-3RD GRADE, TIES ARE OPTIONAL. Students who wear the wrong uniform on Mass days will call parents for a change of clothes or a pink slip will be issued.
