DRESS CODE – KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE 5
Uniforms are part of Catholic Education in the Diocese of Wichita. By sending your student/students to our school you are accepting the obligation that they will follow the school dress code on a daily basis. Parents are the first agents who ensure that students follow the dress code. The principal will notify parents of any exceptions to the uniform policies, and any questions should be directed to the principal. Teachers will check the studentsʼ adherence to the uniform policy/dress code at the beginning of each day. Any violations from the dress code that can be corrected at the time (e.g., remove nail polish or jewelry) will be done. In some cases, the teacher will call a parent to bring an appropriate item. All uniform items must be neat, clean and in good repair. All items must fit properly. In order to insure uniformity of color and style, all approved uniform items may be purchased at Schoolbelles School Uniforms, (888) 637-3037 or www.schoolbelles.com (code: S2796) or at similar uniform suppliers. If purchasing through other uniform suppliers, please check that they carry the same uniform color and style. The school reserves the right to reject uniforms that are outside of the dress code.
