Uniforms are not an option at St. Andrew Catholic School but are a requirement. All students are required to wear the school uniform beginning the first day of school. The uniform should be kept clean and neat at all times. Children should report to school well groomed. Torn, ripped, faded, oversized, or undersized clothing is not allowed. All items should be the correct size. Every piece of the uniform is important, even jewelry, socks, and shoes.
Parents will be called to bring a change of clothing for any student in violation of the dress code. Continued disregard of our dress code will result in disciplinary action. The judgment of the Principal is final in all questions about the dress code. Students who exhibit constant disregard for the dress code may not be allowed to participate in an “out-of-uniform" or “dress-down” day.

Golf socks that are visible above the top of the shoe may be worn with the Daily or Dress uniforms. Girls may wear navy or white knee socks or tights. Knee high athletic socks for boys are allowed if they are navy or white.
When weather conditions necessitate that the students wear jackets or coats, only traditional outerwear will be accepted. Sweatshirts/Hoodies other than the St. Andrew sweatshirt/hoodie may not be worn in the classroom. Jackets and coats may not be worn in the classroom at any time. Any child who comes to school without appropriate outerwear on very cold days may be asked to stay inside during recess. Please be sure to label all outerwear with the student’s name. There are school options for outerwear from Lands’ End.
Boys must have clean-cut hairstyles that are not excessively long. Boys’ hairstyles must be above the eyebrows in front, above the ears on the sides, and an inch above the collar in the back. No hair should be put in a ponytail on top of the head for boys.

Only clear nail polish may be worn. Artificial nails are prohibited.
Girls in grades 7 and 8 may only wear light makeup, a light application of foundation and mascara, no heavy foundation allowed. No eye shadow, eyeliner, or bright lipstick may be worn. If in the opinion of the homeroom teacher, a student has used too much makeup, they will be sent to see the Principal. The Principal’s decision will be final.
The only acceptable forms of jewelry are: watches-no smartwatches allowed, small rings, a small religious medal on a small chain, and for girls only, one pair of small post earrings- no hoop or dangling earrings. No hair “scrunchies” or "ties" are to be worn on the wrist; one or two religious bracelets or bracelets sold by the school store are acceptable. Boys may not wear earrings. Unauthorized jewelry may be confiscated and will be returned at the end of the school day.
Students may not draw or color on themselves. Students will be asked to remove the drawing/coloring and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.
Occasionally students are permitted a "dress down" or "dress- up" day. On these days students will not be required to wear their uniforms, but still must follow the stated rules concerning makeup, jewelry, skirt or shorts length, and shoes. Good taste should dictate the choice of clothing for such days. Absolutely no tank tops, shirts that show stomachs, backless dresses or shirts, leggings worn with shirts or dresses shorter than 2" above the knee, or shorts shorter than 2” above the knee. Any student who illustrates constant disregard for the uniform policy must wear his/her uniform on the next “out of uniform” day.
