HNM Dress Code

A reminder to all HNM parents and students that the wearing of a uniform is an integral part of Catholic school discipline. Students in uniform are less pressured at school by clothing trends and peer comparisons. The decision as to what is in accord with the uniform policy rests with the principal. All students are to be in full uniform each day.

Only uniform clothing purchased from Red Dot Co. is acceptable.

• Uniform sweaters are for classroom and church needs.
• School jackets are for outdoor needs.

Please remind upper-grade students:

• Class sweatshirts are not to be worn on Fridays with dress uniforms.
• Spirit gear is not within uniform guidelines and may only be worn on non-uniform days.  
• Leggings are not permitted on free dress days for students in grades K-8. Additionally, they cannot be worn as tights beneath the uniform.​

Parents and students should review the non-uniform day policy below to ensure compliance.

Violation Consequences

1st Offense: An email notice will be issued for the uniform violation.

2nd Offense: An email notice will be sent, and parents will be requested to bring appropriate clothing to school.

3rd Offense: An email notice will be sent, parents will be requested to bring appropriate clothing to school, and detention will be assigned.

• For non-uniform violations: Three offenses will result in the loss of non-uniform day privileges along with the above steps.
• Further issues may result in additional disciplinary action.

Uniform violations disrupt learning as students must be pulled out of class to call home and wait for a clothing change.
