Dressing in the Waldron Mercy uniform is an important part of the school day. Teachers are expected to enforce the uniform policy.
If it is necessary for a child to be out of uniform, a note should be sent to the homeroom teacher. Dates for uniform changes are noted on the calendar.
Hair should be well groomed. Boys’ hair should be trimmed so as not to touch their collars. Baseball or other hats may not be worn. Jewelry should be simple and not distracting. No body piercings are permitted, except pierced ears. Earrings should be no larger than 1 1/2 cm and without hoops. Cosmetics should be sheer or neutral. Clear or light pink nail polish may be worn. Artificial nails are not permitted. Extreme hair coloring and tattoos are not permitted. Students may only wear Tigerwear (sweatsuits only) in place of their gym uniforms for physical education class. Sneakers with wheels are prohibited.
All school uniforms should be purchased at Flynn & O’Hara. The gym uniform (sweatsuit) is also available through Lands’ End. Only the navy blue sweatsuit may be purchased through Lands’ End. Shoes should be purchased at any Ollys Shoes, the official shoe provider for WMA.
