Physical Education/Athletics Dress Code

In order for our students to take full advantage of our activities, we require, for safety, modesty, and hygienic reasons, the following guidelines for dress codes in all physical education classes. We believe that students can reach their full potential when they have dressed appropriately for the activity.

• Students in grades K4-4 grade do not have to change for physical education; regular school clothes ar-acceptable.
• T-shirts, loose-fitting pants, jeans, and sweatshirts are examples of clothes that are acceptable to wear during P.E. Shorts or leggings can be worn under skirts or dresses.
• Appropriate shoes, preferably tennis shoes, must be worn for physical education activities. Students should not wear Crocs, boots, flip-flops, open-toed, and open-back shoes during P.E.
• Students in grades 5-8 will be required to change into appropriate gym clothes for P.E. class.

These same 30 guidelines also apply to practice attire for our athletic teams. St. Gabriel athletic spirit wear (athletic shorts and t-shirts) is an available option through the Spirit Wear store.
