Uniform Rules
All students must wear the proper school uniform, unless excused by a written note from their parents or on a non-uniform dress day given by the principal. In any case, neatness, cleanliness, and appropriate attire is always required of all students.

General Uniform Dress Code:
School sweaters must be worn to school each day. Our official school sweater is green in color with the school name embroidery. Official class graduation sweatshirts may be substituted for school sweaters in the 8 th grade. Please label school sweaters with indelible name tags. Non-uniform jackets may not be worn in the classroom or in church. Sweatshirts may not be worn to mass.
Students who opt to wear khaki pants to school are asked to wear pants purchased solely at Simple Uniform. The reason being is for continuity in color and style. An effort to comply with this will be enforced next school year.
