Out of Uniform Days
The standard form of dress for students is the school uniform. However, on special occasions during the year, students may dress out of uniform according to the “Out of Uniform Dress Codes.” We must always be conscious that our Catholic identity calls us to dress in a proper and modest manner that reflects a sense of self-respect, pride in our school, and consideration for the feelings and concerns of others. If a student’s clothing is not in keeping with the aforementioned standard, parents will be notified and proper clothing must be brought in.
Keeping the above in mind, the following out of uniform day regulations must be adhered to:
GIRLS – Dresses (Sunday best), slacks, skirts, skorts or shorts with an appropriate top. The proper length of all clothing shall be no more than 2 inches above the knee and at the discretion of the administration. Tops should be long enough to tuck in and remain tucked in when the arms are raised.
BOYS – Slacks or shorts (not oversized and must be worn at the top of the hips) with a collared shirt. A belt must be worn if the slacks or shorts have belt loops.
The following items are never acceptable:
- Jeans - unless specifically announced
• Sleeveless tops and tank tops
• Spandex shorts or leggings
• Tops or blouses of sheer material
• Midriff tops. T-Shirts (except special BLCS shirts.) Leather pants and skirts.
• Open toed and/or open heeled shoes
• Heels that are higher than the school uniform shoes
