At Saint Joseph Academy, uniform restrictions include sweatshirts ONLY purchased from Schoolbelles being worn as normal uniform. As most students know, we are permitted to wear only V-neck, crew neck, or button down cardigan sweaters in navy blue, dark green, or black. These shirts must have the monogrammed Saint Joseph Academy name and crest. We, the undersigned, call on Ms. Ciolek to allow any appropriate, non distracting Saint Joseph Academy club, Kairos, or athletic sweaters, excluding hooded sweatshirts, with the SJA name displayed to be worn as part of the regular uniform.

Most students pay roughly between $15-$35 on sweatshirts for clubs they participate in, sports they join, and/or retreats they go on. These sweatshirts are technically only allowed to be worn on the first Friday of every month and are not permitted during school unless there is a special dress for that specific day.

Allowing students to wear an appropriate, non distracting sweatshirt purchased with a Saint Joseph Academy name on it promotes school pride and allows the students to put use to the sweaters they purchase. A negative factor of the Schoolbelles crew neck, V-neck, or button down cardigans is the cost, as they range from $28-$40 per sweater. Because these sweatshirts are so costly some students do not have, roughly, $45 to purchase a Schoolbelles sweatshirt. The sweatshirts purchased from clubs, athletics, and retreats are indeed much cheaper and are affordable for students to buy.

We, the undersigned, call on Ms. Ciolek to allow any appropriate, non distracting Saint Joseph Academy club, Kairos, or athletic sweaters, excluding hooded sweatshirts, with the SJA name displayed to be worn as part of the regular, non formal uniform.
