UNIFORM GUIDELINES

Students should arrive on campus in complete uniform. A student is considered out of uniform if:
• she is not wearing the required clothing listed below,
• her shirt is not tucked in,
• her clothing is in need of laundering or repair, or
• if any pieces of the uniform no longer fit.

Skirt: Plaid uniform skirt. Must be no shorter than 1” above the knee. If shorts are worn underneath, they must NOT be visible below the skirt.

Shirt: Must be purchased at Just Me Apparel and embroidered with our Sacred Heart logo.
• White knit polo or turtleneck
• Gray short-sleeved or long-sleeved polo
Please note: Because the Sacred Heart logo must be visible at all times, a white knit polo or turtleneck without a logo may only be worn under the uniform sweater, vest or sweatshirt.
A plain white t-shirt or tank may be worn under the school shirt. Long sleeved shirts may not be worn under short sleeved shirts.

Outer-Wear: Must be purchased at Just Me Apparel and embroidered with our Sacred Heart logo.
• Maroon or gray v-neck cardigan sweater
• Maroon or gray v-neck sweater vest.
• Maroon v-neck, long sleeved pullover
• Gray sweatshirt

Socks: White crew socks or gray knee socks.

Leg Coverings: Leg coverings of any kind (pajamas, leggings, sweatpants, etc.) may not be worn during the school day. Any time students are wearing the Villa uniform, including after-school activities, they should NOT wear any non-uniform pants. If students wish to wear yoga pants under their uniforms before or after school they MUST purchase these in the Bookstore.

Out-of-Uniform Days
Several times during the year students are allowed the privilege of wearing clothes other than their uniforms to school.

Formal Out-of-Uniform Days: Students should wear dresses, skirts of an appropriate length or dress pants. Jeans may not be worn.

Casual Out of Uniform Days: Students may wear casual clothes such as shorts of an appropriate length and jeans.

NOTE: The following items may never be worn to school: cut-offs, pajama pants, torn clothing, slippers, slip dresses, halter tops, tube tops and boxer shorts.

Respect for one’s self and others is also shown through cleanliness and neatness in personal appearance. All students are expected to follow the uniform regulations. Failure to do so results in marks toward detention. In addition, repeated wearing of non-uniform clothing as listed above will initiate parent contact from the Director of Students 7-8 or the Assistant Principal stating which uniform pieces need to be replaced within a given time period. As a last recourse, the school reserves the right to purchase appropriately fitting pieces of the uniform and bill the student’s family for them.

Tattoos, excessive body piercing (e.g. ears, eyebrows, nose, lip, tongue, navel) and alternative hair dyeing and styles are not allowed. Any adult within the school community may address a student’s appearance if it is considered inappropriate, disruptive or distracting within the school environment. The information will be communicated to the appropriate administrator.
