Uniform Policy

It is our belief that a school uniform teaches students to dress for success and take pride in their appearance. We feel that uniforms promote a more serious school atmosphere which emphasizes academics and promotes good behavior. Proper and full uniform must be worn at all times unless otherwise specified (Please refer to ‘special dress day’ guidelines).  Uniforms should be clean, fit properly and in good condition.  Good personal hygiene is important and expected.

Uniforms:

School uniforms may be purchased through Donnelly’s School Apparel (800-498-0045) or online at the OLOL Uniform Store at Donnelly’s. A school uniform store is also available to swap and purchase lovingly used uniforms.

If for some extraordinary reason the student is not able to follow the code, a written excuse is necessary.
