DRESS CODE AND UNIFORM POLICY SETON CATHOLIC UNIFORM POLICY
(approved by School Board 3/20/14)
Translated in Spanish
Clothing worn to school should reflect the Christian values being taught at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School. As a private school, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton reserves the right to determine appropriate attire and insists upon a norm of proper appearance for its students, faculty, and staff. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton promotes respect for and the dignity of each individual person, and believes that values are reflected in one’s words and behaviors, including grooming and clothing. Our school expects students to represent themselves well at school, on field trips, at competitions, and at other school functions through appropriate attire and proper hygiene.
The cooperation of parents and students is necessary in observing the dress code. Ultimately, the parents are responsible for sending their child in clothes that represent cleanliness, safety, modesty, and neatness. We want to take pride in our school and represent that pride in the Sheboygan community. ***Should we need to move to a hybrid or virtual environment, there is no requirement for uniforms while students are at home learning virtually.
Unless specifically designated otherwise, all students in 4K through Eighth grade should be dressed in the specified uniform every day. Anything not listed in the following dress code is prohibited. The administration reserves the right to make the final decision about whether or not a student’s attire complies with the dress code.
