Uniforms

Uniform Policy:

Students in Kindergarten through 8th grade are required to wear the school uniform.  The purpose of a clean, neat appearance and appropriate attire are to teach students a respect for themselves and others, reduce “dress competition” and eliminates distractions to the learning process.  The school uniform is expected to be observed from the time the student arrives in the morning until they leave campus after dismissal.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School has adopted the following uniform/dress code.  These uniforms help to identify our students and should be worn with pride.

If uniforms are not within acceptable guidelines, the student will be required to change or a parent/guardian will be called to obtain suitable attire.  Students needing haircuts are given 48 hours to comply or parents will be called to pick their child up.  To avoid this situation, please monitor your child’s/children’s dress before leaving home.

Pre-Kindergarten:  No uniform is required, but may be worn if parents wish.  Otherwise, modest, neat, comfortable attire should be worn.  Please, no overalls or outfits that are difficult for the children to put on themselves.  Tie or velcro shoes are safe and comfortable for play.  Closed-toe shoes (please, no open-toed sandals) are required as the students will participate in the school physical education program and play on the playground.
