Dress-Down Days:
The school occasionally designates dress-down days when students can be out of uniform. On these days, students may wear shorts or nice blue jeans. T-shirts must be free of objectionable words or images, and not be a typical undershirt. Girls’ choice of clothing should not be too revealing or tight (i.e., no spaghetti straps, short shorts, short tops that reveal waistlines, or Soffees that are too tight). Footwear for students should not be too casual (i.e., no slippers or flimsy beach-style flip-flops). Pajama pants and other sleepwear are not permitted.

General Comments @ Dress Code: 
The school expects students to demonstrate pride in themselves and in their school by refraining from any dress, hair fashion, accessories, or general appearance that is in any way bizzare or not in accordance with the spirit of Grace-St. Luke's School. Teachers will confer with students whose dress does not conform to the dress code.

Uniform Exchange Sale
The Uniform Exchange is a service the Parents' Association provides for rising 1st through 8th graders. Parents have the opportunity to consign and purchase gently worn uniform items at 60% off of the original prices at an annual exchange sale event. The Parents' Association keeps $1 from each item sold. In May, volunteers help with pre-sale preparation, receiving of clothing, setting up, staffing and cleaning up the sale and in return get to shop first.

All payment at the sale is by school charge. School accounts will be debited, with credit given to any clothing you sell, and you will receive the bill on a Fall statement. If you sell items but do not purchase any, the Parents’ Association will send you a check for the items sold. All unsold clothing becomes the property of GSL Parents’ Association at the conclusion of the sale.
