UNIFORMS
At St. James Episcopal School, we wear uniforms to project an atmosphere of uniformity, pride, loyalty and equality among the student population. Uniforms remove some of the distractions, make students feel included and tend to make students feel like part of a “team” at school. Uniforms are mandatory and parents are required to support the policy and insure only the approved uniform is worn. Below, you will find important information regarding the SJES uniform policies, as well as helpful reminders.

A solid long sleeve white shirt may be worn under uniform polos when the weather begins to change. Winter wear is for outdoor activities and uniform polos must be worn under all outerwear, including sweatshirts. Please label all outerwear with your students’ name to help ensure the right sweater or coat makes it home with the right student. For lost outerwear and other items, please check the school's Lost and Found, or contact the school office. Students will remain inside if the weather is below 40° as indicated by the national weather service. Rain boots may be worn on rainy days, but students must change into tennis shoes upon entering the building. All above listed rules apply to No Uniform Days as well.
