Additional Uniform Information

St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School students are required to wear full and complete uniforms to school every day unless otherwise instructed by the school office or their classroom teacher.

Oxford and polo shirts must be tucked into the pants, shorts, skorts, or skirts for students. T-shirts may remain untucked.

Uniform pants should be a length so that the pant legs fall between the ankle and the top of the shoe and worn at the waist (just above the hip bones). Pants should appear in good condition, free from fading, holes, or excessive wrinkles. Pants must be worn with a belt for 1st-8th grades.

Each Middle School student is required to purchase at least one physical education uniform, to be worn throughout the school year during their scheduled P.E. class time. The uniform consists of navy shorts and a dry-fit gray shirt. Each Middle School student is required to dress out daily. Non-participation in dressing out will result in a “0” participation daily grade which will affect the student’s overall P.E./Health grade. Each student will be provided a small gym locker to store their clothing and necessities. Students may purchase more than one P.E. uniform.

An official St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School Spirit Shirt may be worn with the required school pants/shorts/skorts as an option on Fridays or special days designated by the school office. Spirit shirts may be purchased through HSA. The appearance of the Spirit Shirt must remain in compliance with the uniform policy. No student-made (art) t-shirts or modifications will be allowed.

Official St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School jackets and sweaters must be in compliance with the uniform policy and labeled with the child’s name. Heavy coats which may be required in cold weather must be stored in the student’s locker throughout the day.

Shoes should not be distracting. Refrain from wearing brightly colored shoes, platform or raised heeled shoes, clogs, sandals, boots, lights on the shoes, Heelys, or other distractions.

Girls are required to wear white or navy-blue socks above the ankle which are free of any embellishments or logos. White tights may be worn under their uniform skirt. Leggings may not be worn. Boys are required to wear plain navy-blue or white socks above the ankle. Sports socks are not permitted.

Natural hair color and non-distracting hairstyles are the expectations at St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School. Feathers, tinsel, and extensions may not be worn. Be conservative with hair bands, bows, etc. Hair bows/barrettes/headbands must be red, white, navy blue, black or brown, or a combination of these colors. Boys’ hair must be neatly cut off the collar, extend no further than half the ear, and must be above the eyebrows. Wearing modest make-up at school is a privilege afforded to Middle School girls. Middle School girls may wear conservative blush and mascara.

Nails should be natural and neatly trimmed. Clear nail polish may be acceptable. Colored nail polish or embellishments are not permitted. Artificial nails of any kind are not permitted. 

Tattoos (temporary or permanent) are not permitted.

Watches, studs or small hoop earrings that hug the earlobe (girls only), and a single necklace with a cross or other religious medal of faith is the only permissible jewelry. The wearing of a rosary is not permitted. Watches that connect to the Internet or use data should remain at home.

Uniforms must be kept clean, in good repair, and appropriately sized. Hemlines for shorts, jumpers, skorts, and skirts are to be no more than two inches above the knee. Alterations or purchases of new items may be necessary if they become too short. Replace items as they become faded or dingy. All replacements and repairs need to be taken care of once a parent is sent a notification.

Students may receive notification in writing of uniform infractions. Most corrections will need to be made before returning to school the next day.

For every 3 violations, a fine of $10 may be assessed.
