DRESS CODE/UNIFORM  

The following requirements are in effect from the first day of school. 

We ask your cooperation in adhering to the school uniform code.  St. Mary’s School will conference with families of students in grades K-3 not adhering to the uniform policy to ensure the children can learn the responsibility of proper school attire.  Students in grades 4 through 8 not complying with the uniform policy will have an email notification sent to the parent after the first offense.  The second offense will result in a Monday detention with the principal and a third offense will result in loss of privilege for the next dress down day.

It is the responsibility of each teacher and all staff members to assure that all students adhere to the Uniform Policy of the school.  Uniforms will be checked by the homeroom teacher each morning.  The full uniform policy is below as it is found in the Parent Handbook.  Teachers are expected to familiarize themselves with all aspects of the uniform and assure adherence.
