Yes.  Last year the paperwork was applied to the last school year.  You will need to fill this out again for this school year.  We recommend filling out the paperwork at the beginning of the year so that you can chaperon/volunteer throughout the year; also to avoid any time crunches because it does take time to be approved.

No tank tops may be worn as the only top (see examples NOT allowed below)
  

Sleeveless tops are allowed: 

Columbus crewneck sweatshirts, hoodies, and polos are allowed on all non-Mass days.  Columbus tees (long and short sleeved) and jerseys are allowed on Fridays only.  Columbus quarter zips are allowed every day, even on Mass days as long as it is zipped down to allow the dress shirt and tie to be clearly visible.

No jeans of any color can be worn on Mass days.  No blue jeans are allowed EXCEPT on dress down days.
