Student Dress Code

At St. Mark’s, we believe a student uniform complements our desire to improve the educational atmosphere on campus.  Students in grades Pre-Kindergarten 4 through 8th must follow a dress code.  Administration, support staff and teachers will enforce the code.  Pre-Kindergarten 3 students are not required to wear uniforms.

Girls are required to attend school in the following attire:

• Navy blue slacks, skirt, skort or shorts. The “Classic Navy Large Plaid” from Dennis Uniforms or Lands End in skirt or jumper may be worn. No torn or ripped clothing or miniskirts/dresses. Skirt length no shorter than 2 inches above the knee.
• Red or White short or long-sleeved shirt (Navy blouses are permitted only if worn with St. Mark’s sanctioned plaid jumpers or skirts.)
• Leggings or tights may be worn under skirts and dresses only (not as pants), and must be solid blue and white. Long solid socks in navy, white or red may also be worn with skirts and dresses.
• No light blue or red pants, dresses, shorts, skort or skirts.
• No high top or knee top converse style tennis shoes allowed.
• No extreme haircuts or hair color, temporary or permanent.
• No visible temporary tattoos or extreme nail color.

Boys are required to attend school in the following attire:

• Navy blue pants or shorts only. No torn or ripped clothing.
• Black, brown or navy belts are to be worn for 1st-8th grades if the garment has belt loops.
• White or red short or long-sleeved shirt with collar or turtleneck. Shirts must be tucked in.
