Uniforms & Dress Code
Printer Friendly Version
All students must be in uniform every day. There will be NUT (No Uniform Today) days
which will be announced during the course of the school year (a dress code for
such days MUST be followed). If there is
a time when the prescribed uniform cannot for some legitimate reason be worn, a
note from the parent/guardian must be written to the Principal. Students who are out of uniform without this
excuse will be sent to the office and the parent will be notified of the
violation. There is a special uniform for Physical Education classes.
OLA SCHOOL
UNIFORM GUIDELINES
The uniform, in its entirety shall be worn to
school each day unless otherwise notified.
The uniform should be clean and pressed with all buttons attached and
hem intact. Shirts MUST be tucked in at all times while a student is on school
grounds. Since neatness and good
grooming speak refinement, we ask all parents to see that the uniform
regulations are kept. Training in good
appearance encourages a child’s sense of dignity and respect for oneself and
others.
GIRLS are required to wear the school plaid jumper (K-4)
or skirt (5-8) with a collared, solid white uniform blouse on days specified as
DRESS
UNIFORM DAYS. ONLY a solid white or navy cami is allowed to
be worn underneath this blouse. Navy
knee socks or tights are to be worn. A
gray (K-6) or navy (7-8) OLA monogrammed sweater is allowed to be worn.
Navy blue (K-6) or khaki (7-8) shorts or skorts may
be worn in place of the plaid jumper/skirt from the beginning of the school
year until October 31 and again from May 1 through the end of the school
year. In addition to their jumper/skirt,
girls may wear navy (K-6) or khaki (7-8) slacks with the white blouse or OLA
monogrammed polo shirt (K-6) light blue
