Dean of Men Daniel Annarelli made some changes to the student dress code for the 2016-17 school year.
Students are now allowed to wear polo shirts untucked from their pants or shorts. Additionally, students may wear pants of black or grey denim. However, joggers and camouflage are prohibited.
The Dean has also set restrictions on certain types of clothing. “Every pair of shorts should have a button, pockets and extend more than halfway down the thigh,” Annarelli said. Shorts may not have a drawstring, and prints with inappropriate images, landscape scenes and––out of respect for the flag–– the American Flag are not allowed. Polos may not extend beyond the pockets.
Boat shoes, casual loafers and pants with rivets will not be allowed at school liturgies and other functions where formal dress attire is required.

From 6:30 to 8:00 pm on Tuesday and 8:00 to 9:30 am on Wednesday, Loyola moms met in Xavier to discuss the upcoming fundraisers and the new school year.
Courtenay Palaski, mother of junior Jack Palaski, and a member of the LMG Board, estimated that there were about 60 people present on Tuesday and around 140 guests on Wednesday. According to Courtenay Palaski the two meetings are spaced out to give mothers with conflicting schedules an opportunity to attend the event.
