Uniforms

Questions

Good uniforms cultivate an atmosphere of studiousness and decorum, minimize distractions, and remind us that we are doing important work. In our appearance, we show our opinions about ourselves, respect for what we are doing, and respect for those with whom we spend our time. Our goal is to minimize distractions and foster a healthy respect for school, for teachers, for fellow students, and for ourselves.

 

Uniforms are practical and simplify each student’s morning routine.  They are a requirement for all students and must be worn daily unless otherwise indicated.  Parents and students are expected to comply fully and cheerfully with the uniform policy.  Uniforms must be worn properly, neatly, be in good repair, and not torn, ill-fitting, or faded.  Each item of clothing should be marked with the student’s name.  Uniforms and outerwear clothing that is not labeled cannot be returned to the student.  The Administration reserves the right to determine if a student is dressed and groomed appropriately.  If a student’s dress is objectionable, the student will be given the opportunity to make the appropriate corrections.  If the student is unable or unwilling to meet the dress code standards, the Administration shall notify the student’s parents and request the parents to make the necessary adjustments.  If both the student and parent refuse, the Headmaster shall take disciplinary action. 

 

The color and type of uniform pieces are determined by grade and what you are able to purchase for each grade level.  This is clearly outlined on our website at www.FoundersSchertz.com (uniforms tab).  The Founders Schertz online store can be found at https://www.landsend.com/, school number 900186834.

 

Please refer the the FCA Schertz Parent & Student Handbook for details on dress code requirements.

 

General Appearance

The goal of the uniform is to present a neat and studious appearance.  Fads in hairstyles, clothing, or anything designed to attract attention to the individual or to disrupt the orderly conduct of the classroom or campus are not allowed. Garments should be clean and free from tears or excessive wear. No undergarments should be visible.

 

Hair

Overall, hair styles should be clean and well-groomed. Hair should be of natural color.  Excessive or distracting hairstyles are not allowed. Hair bows worn by girls should follow the daily uniform color scheme (navy, light blue, white, black, gray, gold, yellow, etc.).  Brightly colored and oversized bows that cause a break in the uniformity of the overall appearance should not be worn.  Students must be clean-shaven.  Mustaches, beards, and other facial hair must be kept neat and trimmed.

 

Jewelry and Body Art

All jewelry should be simple and undistracting. K-5th-grade girls may wear earrings that are simple studs.

6th-12th girls may wear earrings that extend no more than ½ inch below the earlobe. Girls may wear no more than one earring per ear. Boys may not wear piercings of any sort. Simple chain necklaces may be worn and are to be tucked inside the student’s polo/Oxford.  No chokers or beaded necklaces are permitted.  One bracelet/watch per arm is allowed. No gauges may be worn in pierced ears, and students may not wear grills on teeth. Tongue rings and other visible body piercings, including nose and eyebrow rings, are not allowed. Visible body tattoos (temporary or permanent) and body art are not allowed. Students may not write or draw on themselves or each other.
