The School Commission, Parents Club, staff and principal have
agreed that all students attending St. Vincent de Paul School
are required to wear the school uniform. The school uniform is a
symbol of a student’s pride in him/herself and the school;
therefore, uniforms must be appropriately sized and must be
appropriately worn. Every student is expected to be in complete
uniform unless he/she has a valid, written excuse from his/her
parents for that day only. Our uniform policy will be strictly
enforced. Failure to adhere to the uniform policy will result in
a uniform infraction slip.
Students in grades
K-8 need to be in full dress
uniform Monday-Friday but have the option of wearing their
school sweatshirt
on Fridays; however, full dress uniform (including sweater) is
required on all Mass days and on any other days designated as
full
dress days. Exception: Campfire and Scout uniforms may be worn
on meeting days.
Any clothing, including outerwear, shoes and
non-uniform dress apparel, deemed distracting by the
administration is not
appropriate. Also, holiday attire, unless specified, is not
appropriate.
Brands (logos and character styles) on
backpacks, lunch boxes, and supplies need to be appropriate for
our school
environment.
Please put your child’s name on
all uniform clothing items.
The following
blouses/shirts are acceptable: short-sleeved, white blouse with
Peter Pan or sports collar; white turtleneck pullover;
long-sleeved or short-sleeved button-front; white knit polo with
collar. All blouses and shirts must be tucked, not rolled, into
the waistband.
Zippered
sweatshirt type jackets may be worn as coats. Design on
jackets/coats must be appropriate for St. Vincent
School and may not advertise any other school. No pullover
sweatshirt type jackets. Coats are to be hung in the
coat area except during recess or PE. Coats are not to be worn
in the classroom.
Shirts with
positive sayings and pictures would be appropriate, and jeans
free of frays and holes would be
appropriate. Hats, sagged pants or other clothing styles that
are distracting will not be appropriate. No spandex type
fashions, cut-offs, mini skirts or tank tops. Guidelines for
jewelry and shoes apply on non-uniform days.
Hair must be
neat, clean and groomed. Hair ornaments should complement the
colors of the uniform. Only the
child’s natural hair color is allowed. (No bleaching, dying,
highlighting, etc.) Hairstyles deemed distracting by the
administration are not appropriate.
Boys hair must be above the collar
and above the eye brows.
Girls hair must be worn away from the
eyes.

which would impact their safety.
Earrings are limited to ears only.
