Uniform Dress Code:

      Parents are responsible for seeing that their children attend school wearing ONLY the proper uniform. It is only with the principal’s approval that a pupil may attend school wearing something other than the school uniform. If some emergency at home prevents the wearing of the uniform on a given day, the parent must provide the reason in writing to the principal. If a pupil arrives at school in clothing other than the uniform, without a note, the parent can expect to be called to bring in the proper clothing. Any student who continues to disregard the policy (3 notices in a trimester) will serve a detention.

      Jewelry, except for a medal or Religious cross, and make up (including colored nail polish) are not acceptable at OLM for school hours. Clear polish is fine. No visible body piercing or tattoos are allowed. No Hologram contact lenses are allowed. Girls only are allowed to wear stud earrings. Dangling earrings can be a safety issue and will not be allowed for school hours. They will have to be removed when observed. Students are not allowed to wear “fashion/fad chains” or “fashion crosses”, etc. The administration reserves the right to address this issue.

      Students are encouraged to develop the important qualities of cleanliness and good grooming. Haircuts and hairdos are to be neat and of a sensible style. Fad dyed hair or fad styles are not acceptable. Boy’s hair should be above--not touching-- the shirt collar and should be trimmed around the ears. Bangs are to be above the eyebrows. The school reserves the right to decide if a student’s grooming is in accord with the norm and can issue directives for needed changes.

      Sneakers/athletic shoes are worn only on physical education days. The regulation uniform, as outlined below, must be worn at all times. When attending Liturgies and special Masses, students are to wear their formal uniform. No gym uniforms are to be worn for school Masses.
