UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

 

 

Pride in one’s appearance is considered, by Teurlings Catholic High School, to be an essential mark of a mature person.  It is expected, therefore, that each student will reflect that pride by consistently manifesting a respectable and appropriate appearance in matters of personal hygiene and dress.  In order to fulfill the objectives stated in the school philosophy, particularly with regard to promoting those skills and graces needed to act responsibly and successfully in adult society, the school has established a code of dress and appearance conducive to a serious scholastic and values-oriented environment.

 

The required uniform items for males and females must be purchased from Young Fashions, Linda’s School Time, or Fashion World. Any violation of the following uniform requirements will result in after school detention, and repeat infractions could result in Saturday School or Suspension.

Physical Education Uniforms

P.E. uniforms are required and may be purchased from Teurlings Catholic Physical Education Department. The student’s P.E. instructor will explain proper P.E. attire during the first week of class.

 

 

Special Dress Days

On certain days during the year students will be allowed free dress.  Students must always keep in mind neatness and modesty.  On these days the following will not be allowed: shorts that have less than a four-inch inseam, wide legged jeans, tight or low cut tops, tank tops, mini skirts, and shirts with inappropriate logos on them.  The administration reserves the right to determine if the student meets the standards of the school day and events.  If a student is not appropriately dressed, he or she will be sent home to change, and it will be considered an unexcused absence for the classes missed.
