The School of Saint Leo the Great takes pride in its tradition of excellence. This tradition should
be evident to those who come in contact with representatives of the school. The best representatives of
any school are its students. Hence, the faculty and administration of the School of Saint Leo the Great
believe that neatness and unity in attire are conducive to the learning process for all involved. We expect
the attire of our students to enhance their self-image, rather than make “statements”. Therefore, we
mandate the following guidelines.
SCHOOL UNIFORM:

appear in yearbook). Students may bring a change of clothes for additional pictures at an
additional cost. Neatness, cleanliness, and strict adherence to uniform regulations are required

Special Dress Code:
Certain activity days, as determined by the school, will allow for students to dress more casually
than the uniform policy. These are not considered “free dress” days because it is still expected that
students will dress in an appropriate manner for school. On these days, jeans of any color may be worn;
however, low-rise jeans are unacceptable. All jeans must be neat and clean and free of decorative
patches or holes. All shirts or blouses, especially T-shirts, are to be appropriate to the environment of a
Catholic school. Care should be taken as to the pictures or messages contained on any T-shirt or
sweatshirt. Mini-skirts (shorter than 2 inches above the knee), cut-offs, halter tops, midriffs, sloppy shirts,
grubbies, tank tops, army fatigues, stretch pants, sandals, or long underwear, etc. are not allowed. Socks
must be worn. In order to take part in normal school activities, sensible shoes are to be worn.
Students are expected to be in full uniform unless special dress is specified. If a student is not in
uniform at appointed times, the special dress privilege will be forfeited.
Any infraction of the school dress code will be considered the same as rejection of any other area
of school discipline and will be treated accordingly. Detentions will be served and parents notified.
Further infractions will result in suspension or disciplinary probation. The school reserves the right to
send home any student who appears in dress inappropriate for school. Final Determination of what
constitutes appropriate dress will be made by the School.
DISRUPTION OF CLASS WORK OR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Any parent, guardian or other person whose conduct in a place where a school employee is
required to be in the course of his or her duties materially disrupts class work or extracurricular activities or
involves substantial disorder, is guilty of a misdemeanor which is punishable by a fine not exceeding one
hundred dollars ($100), by imprisonment in the county jail for a period of not more than 10 days or both.
