Our School
Dress Code
St. John the Evangelist has an Appropriate Dress Code in place, in keeping with the Board’s Dress Code for Pupils Policy S.S.07.
The Appropriate Dress Code fosters a positive and safe Catholic learning environment consistent with the mission and governing values of the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
Note: St. John the Evangelist Catholic School "Spirit Wear" is permitted.
The Appropriate Dress Code consists of any combination of navy blue and white garments (no denim).
All student attire must be in keeping with our Catholic teachings and beliefs, and reflect principles of modesty. Attire shall not include the following:
Short shorts/skirts, bare midriffs, halter tops, tank tops, etc.
Accessories such as spiked bracelets/necklaces or any externals not in keeping with a safe school environment.
Language and/or representation on attire that depicts violence, profanity or discrimination of any kind whatsoever or that otherwise demeans an identifiable individual or group.
Logos or slogans outside of the school crest.
The Appropriate Dress Code also applies during school excursions and activities, unless otherwise specified.
If a student is inappropriately dressed or out of uniform, parents will be notified. Parents may be asked to bring in clothing in keeping with the dress code or students may be provided with an alternate garment. If dress code violations continue, parents may be asked to attend a meeting to resolve the issue.
We appreciate your support in maintaining these standards.
