​​Uniform Policies

We are a Catholic School; we expect all clothing will reflect this.

The principal will have the final decision regarding any uniform regulations or violations.

*As it is our school policy that students wear uniforms, we insist that the requirements are obeyed by all students.  Full uniform is required the first day of school and every day until the last day of school.  If parents are conscientious about observing their children in the morning, then we can expect the students will consider their appearance a matter of importance also.  All students are expected to have a complete dress uniform as listed below.  Uniforms are to be clean, neat, and in good condition.  Students will be given uniform violation notices if out of uniform.  Three violations will result in a detention.

        6.  Miscellaneous Regulations

It is a good idea to have all articles worn or brought to school marked with the student's name.

Students are to arrive at school in full and correct uniform daily. Uniform articles must be sized to fit -- no loose fit or baggy clothing. Students are to follow the dress code at all times.

On physical education days, students may arrive at school with their P.E. clothing under their school uniform.

A note is required from the parent if, for any reason, the student is not in the required uniform. The note will be valid for one day only.

Students who are in violation of the school's uniform requirements will be given a Uniform Violation Form.

Makeup, including lip gloss, artificial nails and fingernail polish may not be worn or brought to school. Hair spray, large hairbrushes and other cosmetic type articles may not be brought to school.

Girls' hair must be cut and styled in a manner which does not impair the vision. The only hair decorations permitted are a simple red, white or blue, or combination of those colors, hair ribbon or hair clasp. No radical hairstyles and no hair coloring. Hair must be natural color. No bleach.

Boys' hair must be cut and styled so the length in the back is shorter than the top of the shirt collar. The front should not impair the vision. No radical hairstyles and no hair coloring.

Students are not to have their hair styled with lines, symbols or words, jeri curls or longer trailing hair in the back, shaved (entire head or on sides, cropped, or stepped).  Extremes are to be avoided.
