Shoe boots, all weather hikers, and work boots may be worn as boots to and from school but a standard pair of appropriate shoes must be worn in school. Boots may not double as shoes for this purpose. Hair is to be clean, well-groomed, combed and styled appropriately. Hair styles that are distracting are to be avoided and will be handled on an individual basis. Lines, designs, tails, shaved heads, dyed, and other fad hair styles are not permitted. Judgment as to the appropriateness of hair styles is made solely at the school s discretion. The decision of the Principal is final. Boys hair length must be off of the collar and above the eyebrows. Girls hair must be above the eyebrows and out of eyes. Make-up of any kind is not permitted in school. Girls may wear only clear nail polish. Only small, discreet necklaces may be worn by girls. Only post style earrings may be worn;

4 they may not dangle below the lobe. Students wearing inappropriate earrings or jewelry will be asked to remove them. Choker style necklaces, rope fashion, and metal fashion necklaces are not permitted; bracelets are not permitted. Wrist watches may be worn. Throughout the year there are days when students may dress up or dress down. Since we have planned some, let us share with you the guidelines for these special days. There are a couple of adjustments from last year: Dress-up Days for Girls: Shirt, blouse, sweater or dress with sleeves No bare midriffs or short skirts that show the waist; no cut outs or low cut necklines Skirts and dresses may be no shorter than 2 inches above the knee Dress pants must sit on natural waist and fit properly Dress shoes or schools; no flip flops, sandals, or high heels (remember we have terrazzo floors!); no open toed shoes No make up Dress-up Days for Boys: Dress shirt with a collar or sweater Neat dress pants (no rips or frayed edges), resting on the student s natural waist and fit properly Dress shoes Dress Down Days: On these days clothing must be appropriate for school. Tee shirts with rock groups or inappropriate language or signs, spandex pants, mini skirts, camouflage pants or shirts, tank or net tops, bare midriffs, mini shorts, and oversized pants or shirts are not permitted. Jeans may not be torn or frayed, nor may students wear low rise/hip huggers. All pants must rest on the student s natural waist. Khakis, corduroys, and casual pants are acceptable. During the months of August/September and May/June students may also wear shorts provided they are no shorter than 2 inches above the knee. Casual skirts are acceptable and must be no shorter than 2 inches above the knees. The length and style of clothing must reflect Christian modesty. Students dressed inappropriately will be required to change clothing and may lose the privilege of dress down day participation in the future. For dress down days students may not wear sandals or open-toed shoes. On dress down days especially students are inclined to be

5 more active on the playground and outside. Open shoes or sandals do not protect the feet sufficiently for this activity. PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLOTHES: GRADES Dark green mesh or jersey knit shorts from Schoolbelles - Grey Saint Anselm tee shirts from Schoolbelles - White crew socks with no adornment or logo - Tennis shoes: State law requires that gym/athletic shoes be worn for physical education class. Shoes must be fully laced and tied. - SAS sweatshirts, dark green, navy or grey from Schoolbelles (no hood) - Grades K-3 may wear grey or black sweatpants (no tear-aways or pajama pants - Grades 4-8 may wear dark green warm up pants from Schoolbelles or black sweatpants (fleece, polyester, nylon or blend with no more than 3 white stripes down the legs; no tear-aways or pajama pants) Role of Parents in School Uniform The school uniform is an important part of the training and overall experience of life in a Catholic School. Parents understand once they enroll in Saint Anselm School that a school uniform is mandatory and is to be worn properly. When students wear clothing that does not meet the dress code or uniform regulations, parents will be contacted by phone or by writing (in terms of a demerit slip), and they may be required to provide regulation clothing immediately by bringing it up to the school. It is the responsibility of the parents to make sure their children are wearing the uniform and wearing it properly. It is important for parents to monitor the length of the skirts for the girls. If a skirt is too short, it must be replaced before the student will be admitted back to class. Uniforms can be expensive; it is wise to purchase uniforms with hems that provide for future growth. Those families who experience financial need in terms of providing proper uniforms for their children must contact the Principal directly, but they may not use that as an excuse to clothe their children in non-uniform compliant dress.
