  • Outerwear worn inside the classroom can be from any of the three approved outlets – Bayou Academy Sports Pack, Land’s End, or Patron’s League.  For outside the classroom, any outwear is acceptable, but will need to be removed once inside the classroom. Students must have a uniform shirt underneath outerwear.
  • All skirts must have modesty shorts underneath for girls of all ages. 
  • Socks, tights, and leggings are permitted and should be white, black, dark gray, or navy in color.

  2. A second violation will result in detention.
  3. A third violation will result in Saturday School and a meeting with the student’s parent(s) to find a solution to end violations.
