Information for the 2024-2025 school year
As we head into the 2024-2025 school year, we are excited to share some news with all of you. We would like to inform you of an upcoming change regarding the high school uniform shoes. Effective August 2024, there will be a modification to the approved footwear for our school uniform policy. Because our current school uniform shoes, Doc Martens and Eastlands, are nearly impossible for our shoe vendor to get in stock and the quality of the shoe has become noticeably inferior, the Chapelle administration has made the decision for our students to wear the School Issue Semester - Tan Suede shoes. These are more comfortable, and we are happy to report that they are half the price of the Doc Martens. Please note that the 2024-2025 school year will be a transitional one. Students may wear either shoe BUT all grade levels will be required to abide by this new school shoe policy for the 2025-2026 school year. All new students are required to purchase the new style of shoe. Any student with shoes in disrepair will be required to purchase the new shoe. On check in day, all shoes will be checked. A picture of the new school shoe is attached.
Ponseti’s will carry our new shoes. It is a School Issue shoe and that is the required brand. For your convenience, these shoes will be kept in stock at Ponseti’s all throughout the school year. If purchased in-store, Ponseti’s will offer a complimentary spray of their Suede Shoe Protector, as well as a second pair of shoe laces. Ponseti’s has been wonderful to work with so far, and we are excited to offer our parents this more affordable and easily accessible option of shoe wear for our Chipmunks! Ponseti’s is located at 3501 Severn Avenue, APT 3D in Metairie.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and remembering always.....Deus Providebit…God Will Provide,
Connie Dantagnan '88
Head of School
