​​Parent Responsibility For Student Compliance With the Dress Code

The school dress code is clearly defined.  One reason for enrollment in a Catholic school is the structured learning environment of the campus.  The dress code fosters structure.  As the primary educator, parents share the responsibility of ensuring that students come to school in attire that follows the dress code.  When purchasing clothing, please be sure that articles of clothing that are worn to school adhere to the uniform and dress codes.   Your cooperation and support in the philosophy of the school is appreciated.

Uniform Code

At all times, students are expected to wear the prescribed uniform, purchased from Michael's Uniform Supply.  Dress code violations will be issued for improper uniform, which may result in lower behavior grades.  Please check that your child is in complete school uniform before they leave for school each day.  All uniform shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, sweater, and P.E. attire must have the 2016 school logo.  Girls blouses must have the current school logo if they are worn with skirts, skorts, shorts, or pants.  Old P.E. uniforms and athletic team attire are not permitted except when given explicit permission by the principal for specific athletic events/celebrations.
