Student Handbook
School Dress Code and Good Grooming Policy
Students are expected to dress in a “businesslike” manner to encourage their personal best performance at school and maintain a sense of pride and dignity. Students with inappropriate attire may result with a phone call made to parent/guardian requesting a change of clothing and/or a note sent home with the child.
The following expectations will be enforced for St. Teresa of Calcutta Catholic School students:
Dresses and skirts should be modest length
Pant length should be no longer than the heel of the shoe
Girls may wear leggings, as long as their bottoms are covered
Hair is to be neat and clean
No exposed bras, midriffs, or underwear
Belts and collared shirts are encouraged
Shorts and sandals may be worn April 1 through October 15th, and shorts should be modest length.
Students are suggested to wear supportive shoes for recess
Students must have a separate pair of clean PE shoes
No shirts with inappropriate sayings, pictures, or mention of alcohol/tobacco
No clothing that is restrictive in movement or is distracting
Students may wear sleeveless shirts, only if straps are wider than two finger lengths
No ripped or torn jeans
On Church days, please dress your best (no tee-shirts, athletic shorts, sweatshirts or sweatpants) Ossian-Wednesday/Spillville-Thursdays
No pajama bottoms, unless it is a designated pajama day
No spaghetti straps, muscle shirts, mesh tops, short shorts, or tight shorts.
