Uniforms
Uniforms
St. Charles maintains a dress code. Dress and groom affect students’ attitudes and habits in school, therefore, students need to present themselves in a manner that does not offend the rules of decency or detract from the learning environment. The faculty and staff of St. Charles School reserve the right to determine whether a student’s attire meets the established guidelines on “free dress” or uniform days. Please check your child’s choice of clothing before he or she leaves from school to ensure that it complies with guidelines and is appropriate for a K-8 school environment. Students who are in violation of the guidelines will be asked to change in to appropriate attire.
Uniforms may be purchased at Dennis Uniform Company; 1282 Oddstad Drive, Redwood City, CA 94063 (650/ 299-9623) or at their San Francisco location. In addition, St. Charles has established a partnership with Lands End School --- for more information, contact the school office or visit the school website. Uniforms are also available in our Uniform Exchange closet. Please see the school office for help with Uniform Exchange.
Students are expected to wear their entire uniform unless there is an emergency or they have a free dress day. If your child must be our of uniform, please send a note explaining the situation to the classroom teacher. If you fail to send a note you may be asked to bring our child’s uniform from home. Please see the Parent/Student Handbook for more details on uniforms.
