2008-2009 DRESS CODE
Taken from the SHJS 2008-2009 Parent & Student
Handbook
Your school uniform
confirms your attendance at Sacred Heart of Jesus
School and is a symbol of unity within the school
community. It minimizes distractions in the learning
process. It is important that you take pride in your
appearance by wearing your complete uniform always
remembering that by wearing it inside and outside
the classroom and the school you are representing
the school and your behavior should be a credit to
both yourself and the school community.
The winter uniform will be worn from
Tuesday, October 14th,
2008 through Friday, May 1st 2009.
The optional summer uniform can be worn
from the opening of school
until Friday, October 10th, 2008
and then from Monday,
May 4th, 2009 until the close of school.
In addition to wearing the proper uniform each day,
girls are not allowed to wear make-up (including
colored nail polish) or excessive jewelry. Earring
should be limited to post-style only and must not be
larger than a penny. No large or non-post style
earrings are allowed. If students wear such items to
school, the student will be asked to remove the
items and parents may be notified.
Personal Appearance
A good personal
hygiene routine should be followed daily: ears,
neck, and fingernails should be given special
attention. When appropriate, children should be
instructed in the use of deodorant.
Hair should be clean
and well groomed. The boys’ hair should not be below
the shirt collar. Bangs should not be so long that
they impede vision.
Parents will be
notified if a child comes to school consistently in
an unkempt manner. If no improvement is noticed
within a reasonable amount of time, an appointment
with the parents and with the guidance office will
be made by school officials.
Students in
violation of the school Uniform and Dress Code
Policy may be required to serve after school
detention.
