Dress Code

The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) has mandated a common dress code in its Catholic elementary schools.

This Appropriate Dress Code Policy consists of any combination of white and navy garments (i.e., plain white or navy-blue top with a plain navy-blue bottom - no denim or jeans). Parents and students may purchase a variety of clothing at local retailers.

Please take the time to label your child’s clothing with their initials using a permanent marker or fabric pen on the tag. In this way, lost clothing will be returned. Students are expected to wear this attire while at school, on excursions, participating in competitions and tournaments and attending mass at St. James Church.

Students in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 are expected to dress neatly and appropriately to promote a positive environment.

Prohibited Dress

Any items that are not part of the uniform are NOT ALLOWED.

  • Offensive patches, symbols or sayings on clothing are not tolerated or allowed.

  • Halter tops, tank tops, mesh shirts, cut-off shirts, spaghetti strap tops, low-cut tank tops and abdomen revealing tops are not allowed.

  • Low rider pants are not appropriate; wear walking shorts only.

  • Sunglasses and hats/baseball caps/hoodies are to be removed when entering the school building.

  • Excessive makeup and nail polish are not appropriate, nor are oversized jewellery or chains.

  • Footwear should be worn that is appropriate to the class activity.
