Dress Code

PA Day Activities

The dress code for St. Rose Of Lima Catholic School is a white dress shirt or polo top and blue pants or skirt/tunic for girls (no jeans).
 
The Appropriate Dress Code of the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) requires that students wear a white top and navy bottoms (no jeans). Garments worn may include: shorts, skirts, dresses, pants, golf shirts, cargo pants, Capri pants, blouses, and dress shirts. There should be no bare midriff, no underwear showing (including bra straps), no short shorts or short skirts, no revealing or low-cut tops and no spaghetti straps. Racer-back tops are also not appropriate. Tights, yoga pants, and/or leggings worn without skirts or shorts are not permitted.

Although comfortable to wear, flip flops are not recommended as they do not safely or adequately protect feet from injury. Sturdy shoes (i.e., possibly buckled sandals) or running shoes properly protect the feet from accidental injury and allow for safe participation in school activities.

When a student regularly and blatantly demonstrates disregard for the TCDSB Appropriate Dress Code, a phone call home as well as other code of conduct consequences will follow accordingly. Parental support and adherence to our policies is always much appreciated. At times, families have had difficulty finding sizes and styles for their child.

As a reminder, you are not expected to purchase clothing from a particular retailer. Where parents purchase these items does not matter. Several clothing retailers offer items in these colours and in children sizes. Local stores will usually stock these items for August and early September.

If you need further guidance or you are having difficulty finding clothing items, please contact the school and we will do our utmost to assist you.

All Elementary schools within the jurisdiction of the Board shall adopt an Appropriate Dress Code or Uniform Dress Code.

Parents are encouraged to review the local dress code at their child’s school and to direct their questions to the principal of the school.
