FAQ's

List of 7 frequently asked questions.

  • Uniform Skirt Length 

    To maintain a respectful and consistent appearance, uniform skirts must be no shorter than three inches above the knee. Please do not hem skirts above this length or roll them during the school day. Thank you for adhering to this guideline.

  • Will my student be able to wear hand-me-down pieces?

    The classes of 2026 will be able to continue to wear the legacy uniform. However they will not be available to purchase through the FlynnO’Hara webpage. 

    All incoming students, Class of 2027 & going forward, must purchase the new uniform. Hand-me-down pieces can be used as long as they are previous pieces purchased from FlynnO'Hara and are the current uniform.

  • How many pieces do I need to purchase?

    See the attached guide for number of suggested uniform pieces to purchase.  The good thing about the variety available with the new uniform is that you can purchase the items that work for your daughter.  Additionally, items will be available throughout the year.

    No.  Students will need to purchase and wear FlynnO'Hara specific items.  No other brands will be permitted.
