Taylor’s uniform policy is guided by this motto:

School colors head-to-toes

Shirts tucked in

Spirit shows!

1. Students should purchase blue or white Taylor shirts available at area uniform shops Schiro’s Shoes & Uniforms (4948 West Esplanade Avenue), J & L School Uniforms (1742 Stumpf Blvd, Gretna), and Johnson’s Uniform, Inc (619 Westwood Drive, Marrero). Students may wear plain white, royal blue, or grey t-shirts or P.E. shirts only under their uniform shirts.  Undershirt must not be visible at the sleeve or hem-line. A school polo shirt must be worn at all times unless otherwise noted.

2. Students should purchase grey uniform pants for boys and girls. They cannot be jean style, with stitching across the knees, cargo, or carpenter’s pants. Pants must be neatly hemmed, not rolled up or with slits cut on the sides. All pants must be the correct waist size and worn at the waist with a plain, solid, black belt.  BIG, BAGGY PANTS ARE NOT ALLOWED. 

3. Girls may wear neatly fitted uniform skirts at the waist that are no shorter than 3 inches above the knee. Skirts can not be rolled or shortened in any way. Shorts are not allowed to show below the skirt hemline. 

4. Shoes must be mostly black or white. For safety purposes tennis shoes are recommended. Socks must be black or white. Students may not wear backless shoes. Shoes must be tied and/or fastened securely and must not exceed ankle height. If boots are worn, pants must not be tucked into boots.  Boots are only to be worn under pants, not skirts. No combat boots are allowed.

5. Students must tuck shirts in neatly inside pants/skirt with the belt or waistband visible.

6. All uniforms must be properly sized and in good repair.

7. ALL winter attire (sweatshirts, windbreakers, and jackets) must be SOLID grey, white, or royal blue. The attire may have a PFTSTA logo. No words or logos may be visible on the jacket or sweatshirt other than PFTSTA logo. No jean jackets are allowed. 

8. Students may wear long sleeve shirts under their uniform shirt provided they are solid royal blue, white or grey. No logos or words may be visible on the sleeve or elsewhere.

9. Solid royal blue, grey, or white full length tights must be worn. The tights must reach the ankle. No fishnet, sheer, or lacey material allowed. Sweat pants may not be worn according to Jefferson Parish policy.

10. Students must follow these rules on dress-down days:  no capris, no shorts, no t-shirts with violent, offensive, or illegal images, no midriff shirts or immodest necklines, no sleeveless shirts or tank tops, no backless or open-toed shoes, no jeans with holes, no sunglasses.

11. No hats, hoods, or winter apparel (scarves, gloves) can be worn indoors at any time. No hair wraps allowed except those worn for religious purposes.

It is also the obligation of the school to enforce the attributes of personal hygiene, neatness, and safety. Therefore, all students must maintain a physical appearance in keeping with stated policy. Disciplinary action will result if students violate stated dress code, which includes but is not limited to warnings, detentions, parental conference and suspension.
