Personal Appearance:

St. Cyril of Jerusalem’s standards for personal appearance on both uniform and non-uniform days are based on what is appropriate, modest, and becoming of a St. Cyril student. Uniforms must be neat, clean (no stains), without holes, and be worn properly. All uniform tops must display the current St. Cyril logo (crest) as of August 2018.  Long pants may not drag on the ground or bunch up around the shoes.  Shorts may not hang below the kneecap.  Skirts, jumpers, shorts, and skorts must be at or just above the knee or longer. Skirts, jumpers, shorts, and skorts​ that reach the thigh are considered too short. Undergarments should not show and no midriff skin or cleavage can be displayed.  Spaghetti straps, tank tops, see-through, and off-the-shoulder clothing is not permitted.

Hair must be clean, combed, properly trimmed, and of a natural color (no bleaching, dyes, or temporary dyes). Hair adornments of the uniform colors are limited to headbands, hair clips, barrettes, hair ties or ribbons.  Neither boys nor girls are allowed to have their hair hang in their eyes.  Boys’ must be clean-shaven and have hair above their collar.

No makeup or tattoos are allowed. Watches, religious medals on a short chain, religious, friendship, or another simple quiet bracelet may be worn. Girls may wear one pair of stud earrings. No other jewelry is allowed – even on free dress days. Girls may wear clear nail polish only. Students forfeit these privileges if any of the above items become a safety issue or distraction to learning. 

We encourage our students to be physically active during the school day. Therefore, shoes must be an athletic style tennis shoe that is conducive to their health and safety.  The shoe must fit the foot securely and must have laces or Velcro closures. Shoes cannot have platforms, wheels, flashing lights, bells, or any other distracting feature. 

Formal uniforms are mandatory and are expected to be worn on special days such as Mass days, Holy Days of Obligation, school picture days, etc. All other uniform pieces are considered optional. These formal uniform items are the same items that have already been available to you this year, so chances are, it is already part of your child's set of uniforms. 

Formal uniforms include: 

Shoes must be black, brown, gray, dark blue, white, or dark green and must be predominantly one color. Shoelaces may be a different color, but must be approved by the classroom teacher.

Socks must be white or black and must extend above the ankle bone. 

Undershirts, tights, or leggings must be black, white, or gray. Leggings must cover the ankle and tuck under the socks. 

SCJ uniform sweatpants may only be worn during the winter months (November-February). Sweatpants may not be worn on formal uniform days. 

Spirit Wear may be worn on Tuesdays. Spirit Wear may not be worn on formal uniform days.

Non-Uniform Dress is not allowed except on designated days (Non-Uniform rain gear may be worn on rainy days)

** Teachers and administration will be in charge of monitoring student compliance with the school dress code. In the case of a dress code infraction, a student may be given a verbal warning or may be issued a dress infraction form if issues persist. 

A.15.b Uniform Code:

All students are expected to stay in school uniform throughout the entire school day.  The St. Cyril uniform must be purchased from Dennis Uniform Company located at 6459 De Soto Avenue in Woodland Hills. You can contact them by phone at (818) 703-7493.  Dennis has a list of approved St. Cyril of Jerusalem uniform items and sells everything you need except shoes.  Please note the grade level differences in approved uniform choices.

All exchange days are advertised in the electronic Family Envelope or via a school e-mail blast. Please contact PTO or check the school website if you would like to contact the Uniform Exchange Chair directly. A plain white long or short sleeve shirt (no logos) may be worn under blouses or shirts in cold weather.  Non-uniform jackets and hats not be worn. 

Eighth Grade Privileges

Eighth-grade boys and girls have the privilege of wearing a special color class sweatshirt and polo shirt as part of the uniform throughout the entire 8th-grade year.  Eighth graders may also have the additional privileges of wearing different color shoelaces and appropriate colored nail polish for girls IF they, as a class, have earned these privileges.  The principal, in consultation with the appropriate teachers, will make this decision based on the overall behavior and attitude of the class. 

Additional dress options/privileges available to all students:  

• Wear approved spirit wear and club attire on Tuesdays

Please make sure all removable items are labeled with your child’s name. Found items will be placed in a container stored under the lunch pavilion. If the appropriate student does not retrieve the item(s) by Friday of each week, they will be donated to the Christian Service Program.
