ST. JOHN LALANDE'S UNIFORM POLICY 2020-2021
/
An important goal of a dress code/uniform policy is to teach young people that different types of dress are appropriate for different settings. Parents and guardians who send their students to SJL and students who choose SJL accept the judgment of the Administration as final in matters of school policies and procedures, including dress code for a preschool through 8th grade environment. Students in this academic setting are expected to be clean and neat in their personal appearance, observing standards of modesty, moderation, and good taste. Attire that is distracting or extreme is also prohibited. It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that the student is in the correct dress code on a daily basis while on campus and at school functions. The school reserves the right to regulate against upcoming fads or fashions that reflect negatively on the school and/or person. Interpretation and judgment in matters pertaining to dress and personal appearance are necessary. The administration is the final judge of what is, or is not, acceptable for an individual student.
