Pants, Walking Shorts, Skirts, Skorts & Tunics
Pants, walking shorts, skirts, skorts & tunics can be purchased elsewhere. However, they must follow the following criteria:
– All items must be dark navy blue
– Pants must be a “dress” pant, that is nicely fitting, no cargo style pants with huge pockets (cords are permitted). Please note that leggings (on their own) and exercise/yoga pants are not considered appropriate as uniform items.
– Skirts length must be just above the knee
– Sweatpants are not permitted to be worn other than for physical education class & sporting events.
– Plain white blouses and dress shirts can also be purchased elsewhere. However, they must be plain crisp white in color with no logos or designs on them.
– All uniforms must be kept clean and in good repair
Summer Uniform
The athletic t-shirt and shorts will be accepted as summer uniform for all students during the months of May, June, September, and October. Because of hot weather, students may wear these uniform items during class times for these designated months. Parents may wish to purchase more than one set of the t-shirt & shorts for this purpose. (This does not include the athletic sweatpants, which may be worn during gym time only.)
Mass Dress
“Mass Dress” will be required for all students during school liturgies. This will include First Friday Masses, Ash Wednesday Mass, and any other school liturgies or special occasions. There may also be other times or events when Mass Dress will be required. Students will be informed of these times.
Mass Dress will include any uniform pieces designated for specific grades EXCEPT FOR any of the St. James Athletic uniform pieces (t-shirt, jersey shorts, and sweatpants). Athletic uniform items will not be allowed for Mass Dress at any time.
Uniform Infractions
We appreciate your support in helping us to successfully implement this school uniform policy. Parents of students who are not wearing the required uniform will be contacted and asked to provide proper uniform items for their child.
