Parking Permits Students who drive and park at Bishop Feehan High School are required to have a parking permit that they will keep until they graduate.

5 DRESS CODE Dress Code School Year Uniforms are a distinct indication of a student s connection to the school. Representing the school in a positive manner is an expectation in all areas of student life, including professional dress and grooming. Handbook regulations concerning the uniform are applicable at all times, whether on or off campus. It is both the parents and the school s responsibility to instill this mindset in the student body. It is expected that the uniform will be neat, clean, and in satisfactory condition. In addition to handbook guidelines, any other attire or grooming patterns determined to cause distractions are not acceptable. The administration is the final authority on interpretations of the dress code. Donnelly s School Apparel 50 Sharpe Drive Cranston RI Online Ordering: Shoes Outerwear T.A.G.

Shoes may be leather, cloth, or suede as long as they meet all criteria listed above. Shoes must remain in good repair and be tied at all times. A note must be given to the School Nurse or Vice Principal of Student Life if an injury requires the wearing of non-uniform shoes. Athletic shoes may be worn for a medical condition for no longer than one week with a parent note. If the shoes are required for a longer period than one week, a doctor s note must be provided with specific guidelines. If the injury requires the wearing of non-uniform shoes for more than a three week period, the student must wear plain all-black leather athletic shoes. The school is the final arbitrator of footwear. The forest green v-neck school sweater or vest with the Feehan Spire logo purchased from Donnelly s must be worn between the assigned calendar dates in October and April, otherwise the sweater or vest is optional.

At various times during the school year, students are given the opportunity to come to school out of uniform. T.A.G. (Tasteful, Approved Garments) Days usually require a small fee to support a charitable cause or to recognize a specific activity or achievement. On any day that students are allowed to be out of uniform, posted standards must be followed. These days are considered a privilege that may be revoked for individuals failing to follow guidelines. Guidelines will be posted by the administration throughout the school.
