Dress Code

The Virtus Academy uniform symbolizes our commitment to excellence in everything we do as individual members of the Power Pack.

Our uniform can be a royal blue, white, navy, or gray polo shirt with the school crest embroidered on the left side of the chest. Khaki, black, gray, or navy skirts, shorts, or pants are acceptable, along with close-toed shoes appropriate for outdoor play and gym exercise. Jackets and sweaters worn inside the building should be black, gray, or white, either with or without the school crest. We celebrate Fridays by wearing jeans and school spirit T-shirts.

If a child comes to school inappropriately dressed, parents will be contacted to bring proper attire. The administration will make the final judgment on the appropriateness of dress and reserves the right to prohibit students from wearing any articles of clothing or accessory which may disrupt the school environment.

Dress Code Guidelines

  • Virtus Spirit Shirts are also acceptable any day of the week.
  • Khaki, black, or navy skirts, shorts, pants, or blue jeans
  • Closed-toe shoes that children can play in and use in the gym
  • Shorts and skirts worn to school need to be finger-tip length or longer; students should not be able to touch the skin when hands extend by the side. Garments should be of adequate length to ensure modesty when the student is seated or engaged in school activities.
