School Uniform Information 

No specific uniform is required for children in the Early Childhood program.  Please check out the Early Childhood Uniform Information page for some helpful guidelines.

  

St. Paul’s Lutheran School has adopted the policy that students in grades 1-8 will wear a specific uniform to school so that the learning environment can better be viewed by students and parents as a setting where students are committed to giving their best effort to reach their fullest potential.  St. Paul’s feels that school, in some ways, should mirror a future work place.  Appropriate dress, which is often defined in terms of a uniform, is part of the work place environment.  The policy of uniforms is also intended to help the educators spend more time teaching and nurturing rather than making decisions about whether clothing meets a certain dress code.  In summary, the purpose of uniforms is to enhance the educational environment of the students.

 

GRADES 1 THROUGH 8 are required to purchase all uniforms from Arthur’s in Severna Park. Only items approved by St. Paul’s may be purchased at Arthur’s.

 

Ø      Length of all shorts, skirts, and skorts must be no more than 4 inches above the knee for students in grades 4 through 8.  The length for students in grades in 1-3 is expected to be reasonable and not too short. (includes PE uniform shorts)
