Uniform Policy

Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School’s Uniform Policy is integrated into its overall mission and philosophy regarding values and character development. It helps create a sense of belonging and unity among students. When everyone is dressed in the same attire, it minimizes social and economic differences and emphasizes that all students are part of a larger community. This unity can contribute to a positive school environment and promote a shared sense of purpose and values.

The uniform policies set clear standards for attire, such as requiring skirts or shorts to be of a certain length, or prohibiting clothing with offensive language or imagery. Adhering to these policies helps students demonstrate respect for themselves, their peers, and the values of the school. It also eliminates distractions caused by fashion trends or competition over clothing choices. When students are dressed uniformly, the focus can shift more toward academics and learning, rather than on external appearances. This can enhance the learning environment and promote concentration and engagement in classroom activities.

Our school aims to provide an education that aligns with the principles and values of the Educational Project of the Company of Mary. Our uniform policies reflect these values, promoting modesty, simplicity, and respect for oneself and others. By adhering to the uniform policies, students and parents demonstrate their commitment to these values and contribute to the overall Catholic identity of the school community.

Variable Weather and/or Climate Events

Due to the fact that weather conditions in Southern California can change dramatically throughout the year, the school policy allows parents to decide whether a 'warm weather' or 'cold weather' uniform is most appropriate for their child. On days when special assemblies, liturgies, or events in the theater require a 'full or complete uniform,' the student must wear the 'full uniform' in the theater but may wear the 'warm weather' uniform for the rest of the day. All clothing should be labeled with the child’s name.
