3. Clothes must fit appropriately. This means no oversized or tight clothing and modest skirt and shorts length. Skirts and shorts must be no more than 2 inches above the knee. The decision of the administration as to appropriate fit is final. Parents bear the risk that ill-fitting uniforms will have to be replaced. 4.
All shirts and blouses are to be worn tucked-in at all times. NO cargo pants or shorts are allowed. Think “Docker style” for khaki slacks and navy walking shorts.
5. All girls’ sweaters and vests must be monogrammed. Monograms, where required, are to be uniform. Monograms should be in white, block capital letters, horizontal (not diagonal), and high on the left side of the chest. Exact placement will vary according to the size of the garment. 6. The wearing of jewelry is not allowed. The only exceptions to this are religious medals and wristwatches, and (for girls only) small pierced post earrings. 7. Girls may wear hair ribbons or headbands of any color. 8.
