Uniforms

Uniform components may be purchased from Flynn & O'Hara Uniform Company throughout the year, online or at the stores (Towson or Harrisburg). The school also holds Uniform Exchanges each summer in which our families donate clean, used uniform items back to the school and find "new" used items they may need.

At all times, students are to be:

• Neat and clean in appearance, no rips or tears in clothing

• Hair should be neatly arranged

• Girls headbands, if worn, may be dark blue, dark green, white, yellow or uniform print purchased through Flynn & O’Hara.

• Boys' hair must be cut above the collar and above eyebrows

• Dyed, highlighted, or extreme hairstyles are not permitted

• If a student is not dressed in the school uniform, parents/legal guardians are to send a note to the classroom teacher explaining the reason

• If the principal feels that a student's clothing is not appropriate, parents/legal guardians will be contacted to bring a change of clothing to school

• Please label everything your child wears to school. Lost and Found items not claimed will be distributed to the needy

• Girls may wear post earrings. One ear piercing is acceptable, no piercings on face. No other jewelry items are permitted.

• Boys may not wear jewelry items, including earrings or piercings of any kind.

• Tattoos are to be washed off/removed before coming into school

• No nail polish, fake fingernails, makeup, or tattoos as they are distractors to learning

• Non-uniform sweatshirts are unacceptable.

• Pajama pants may not be worn unless there is a specific pajama day event.

• No smart watches are to be worn by the students. Students may wear exercise tracking devices such as Fitbits

• A uniform violation slip will be given for non-compliance of school uniforms. After three notices, a yellow slip will be administered.

Non-Uniform Day Dress Code
This is a privilege and exception, not a right. When students are granted a non-uniform day their dress must conform to the following standards:

• Any dress, skirts, or shorts must be the same length or longer than the uniform jumpers, and “modest” in style.

• ​If leggings are worn, the student is to wear a shirt that comes to mid-thigh. 

• All shoes must have NON-MARKING SOLES and be either school uniform shoes or sneakers. No sandals, flip-flops, Crocs or high heels are to be worn.

• Shirts must have sleeves cover the shoulder and be long enough to cover the waistband of the pants that are being worn and must have appropriate logos and wording.
