• Uniform Requirements

  To promote and maintain an environment of scholarship, self-respect, discipline and community, students are required to report to school each day dressed in Loyola's standard uniform. Our uniform and dress code regulations will be enforced starting on the first day of school. Students are required to wear traditional classic-cut or relaxed-fit chino khaki dress slacks and LoyolaWear shirts with the Loyola Academy seal. Please note that "skinny style" or denim pants do not comply with the dress code. Rubber-soled shoes must be worn during the school day. No sandals, moccasins or boots are permitted. No facial hair is allowed.
  
  Questions regarding availability of LoyolaWear should be directed to LoyolaWear Store Manager, Ms. Lisa Lovcik at 847.920.2486 or llovcik@loy.org. Contact the Dean's Office at 847.920.2454 if you have questions regarding the school's uniform policy.

• Drop-Off and Pickup of Ramblers

  From the south:

  Parents dropping off students before school should enter the parking lot from Laramie Avenue at the southern end of the south lot and proceed north along the west side of the stadium to the dual drop-off lanes to unload passengers. Students will enter the building either through door #1 (main entrance) or door #6 (Piazza entrance). Afterward, parents should continue north toward the school and turn west to exit onto Laramie Avenue. Please yield to pedestrians walking to the school building and follow the direction of the traffic control aides along the route and at the driveway to Laramie Avenue.

   

  The route for pickup along the west side of the stadium is similar to drop off. Parents should proceed to the northernmost available position to wait for students. Vehicles are to queue in two lanes along the entire length of the stadium. Parents should remain in their vehicles and move up in the queue as vehicles pick up students and depart. After picking up students, proceed north to the school and west to Laramie Avenue. Please yield to pedestrians walking through the area and follow directions from the traffic control aides along the route.

   

  From the north:

  Parents dropping off students before school should enter the parking lot from Illinois Road at the easternmost driveway entrance, then proceed west along the north side of the Performing Arts Center to the drop-off point. Students will enter the building through the north doors of the Student Center, door #19. Afterwards, parents will exit onto Illinois Road. Please yield to pedestrians walking to the school building and follow the direction of the traffic control aides along the route.

   

  Follow the same route for pickup. Parents should remain in their vehicles and pull up as vehicles pick up students and exit onto Illinois Road.

   

  Important to note: Our longtime agreement with our neighbors prohibits drop-off and pick-up on all other side streets, including Forest, Walnut, Elmwood and Greenwood Avenues, Manor Drive and Illinois Road.

• Entrance and Exit Policy

  For the safety and security of our entire community, access to Loyola Academy is limited to three doors. These doors are numbered on the inside and outside of the school building.
  
  They are:

  • Door #1 — Main entrance (west side of the school at the flagpoles)
  • Door #6 — Piazza entrance (south side of school across from Sachs Stadium)
  • Door #19 — Student Center entrance (north side of school next to the Quad)

  These doors will be open beginning at 6:45 a.m. for students to enter the building. All visitors, including parents, will be required to enter the school exclusively through the Main entrance (door #1) or the Piazza entrance (door# 6). Anyone visiting will be checked in and given a visitor's tag prior to being admitted into the building.

• Electronic Device Policy

  All students are required to have an iPad for school use. Students are not allowed to use cell phones during school hours without permission from an adult. These devices must be out of sight during the school hours. For safety reasons, students are not allowed to wear headphones or earbuds of any kind as they move through the hallways, but are able to use them for educational purposes during their free and flex periods. Please reference the Technology Use Policy section of the Student Handbook for details on responsible use of devices.

• Food and Beverage Delivery Policy

  No food and/or beverage deliveries are permitted during the school day under any circumstances. All attempts to deliver food by restaurant employees and third-party delivery services will be denied by Loyola’s front desk staff. Staff at the primary entry ways will not receive food or beverages from anyone. The cost of a failed delivery is the responsibility of the student.

• Parent/Visitor Entrance Policy

  For the safety of our students, all visitors, including parents, will be required to enter the school exclusively through the main entrance (door 1) or the Piazza entrance (door 6). Visitors will be required to present a photo ID at the security desk to receive a visitor's pass. From 6:00 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. parents and adults will only be permitted to enter through the main entrance (door 1).

• Visitor Parking Permits

  All visitors are asked to obtain a Visitor's Parking Permit from the security desk in the main lobby or Piazza. You are invited to store the permit in your car to use on subsequent visits to Loyola Academy. We ask all Loyola students, faculty, staff and visitors to park in a legal parking spot in the lot whenever it is available. Those who choose to utilize Visitor Parking in the drop off/pick up lanes may not park before 8:30 a.m. and must move their vehicles by 2:00 p.m. at the latest. Security personnel in the main lobby can direct you where to park if you need assistance. If you are issued a ticket in error, please contact the Dean’s Office at 847.920.2454.
