St. Francis School

We believe that a student's behavior and dress should reflect respect for self and for others, in order to create an atmosphere that reinforces the educa-tional process. We limit the type of clothing the students wear to practical, sturdy school clothing that is neat and clean. Please put your child's name in all clothing, particularly outerwear.

The following dress code should be followed for special assemblies such as Grandparents' Day:

Girls - skirt and blouse, simple dress or dress pants
Boys - dress or khaki pants and a shirt with a collar

The school reserves the right to decide which dress styles are appropriate for our educational environment.

Any clothing endorsing the use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, violence or any other image the school deems offensive is strictly forbidden.

In addition, clothing deemed suggestive or too revealing is also forbidden. For example, should a student arrive in extremely short shorts, spaghetti-strapped tops, sagging pants or with undergarments exposed, he or she would be sent home to change into appropriate attire.

We expect the cooperation and attention of all our parents in supporting this policy.

Athletic shoes are required footwear for athletics classes. It is advisable for Lower School students to keep an extra pair of shoes at school so that they may change if their shoes become wet.

Please keep in mind that children need to dress appropriately for outside activities.
