Uniforms

In an effort to develop a sense of self-esteem in our students, we encourage them to be neat and well groomed. Parents are responsible for providing the required attire for their children. Students are expected to assume the responsibility of attending school in the complete uniform.

Uniforms are currently purchased at Rose Uniform, 2132 Moreland Road, Willow Grove, PA (800) 527-4689, or Flynn and OHara, 10905 Dutton Road, Philadelphia, PA 19154, (215) 637-4600. Shoes are purchased at Trevose Shoe Store or Phil's Shoe Center. Gym uniforms can also be ordered through The Embroidery Shop, (215) 333-1355, and are also available through Rose Uniform or Flynn and O'Hara.

 

Hair Styles/Grooming

Student's hair is to be neat, clean, and groomed conservatively. No coloring or extreme styles is allowed. Girls may not use highlights or any unnatural hair coloring during the school year. Students are expected to come to school in a state of cleanliness.

 

Jewelry

Although jewelry is not a part of the school uniform, post earrings of a small and conservative style are permitted to be worn by the girls (one earring only in each ear.) Boys are not permitted to wear earrings. Bracelets (both ankle and wrist), pins, unofficial buttons, and necklaces are not a part of the school uniform. A religious medal or cross on a chain is permitted.

 

Uniform

Each student is expected to wear the designated warm weather or winter uniform in its entirety. Unless a student is prepared to wear the full optional warm weather uniform, he/she should wear the winter uniform. If, at any time during the year, an exception in uniform is necessary for that day, a note of explanation must be sent to the child's teacher who will forward it to the Principal.
