(Please consult the current printed handbook. This version is offered for convenience, but may not contain all revisions)

 

Uniform components may be purchased from Flynn & O'Hara Uniform Company, throughout the year, either online or by calling 1-800-441-4122. Order forms for uniforms are available from the school office at any time. Uniform components purchased from other suppliers must be identical to the Flynn & O'Hara styles, with the exception of logos. Logos are optional. At all times, students are to be neat and clean in appearance. Hair should be neatly arranged. Boys' hair must be cut above the collar. Dyed, highlighted, or extreme hairstyles are not permitted. If a student is not dressed in the school uniform, parents are to send a note to the classroom teacher explaining the reason. If the principal feels that a student's clothing is not appropriate, parents will be contacted to bring a change of clothing to school. Please label everything your child wears to school. Lost and Found items not claimed in two weeks are distributed to the needy.
