UNIFORM POLICY

Uniforms are worn by all students in order to foster a spirit of equality and neatness and must be worn from the first day of school until the end of the school year, unless otherwise directed. The discretion of the Principal is the deciding factor, at all times. Each student has the obligation of wearing the prescribed school uniform. If, due to an emergency, it is impossible for a student to be in full uniform, the student must bring a note from a parent as to the reason he/she is unable to wear the entire uniform for the day. In the event that a note is not presented, the parent will be called to bring the appropriate attire to school. Principal and teachers exercise the right to make judgments concerning dress and appearance guidelines.

St. Joseph School students in grades K-8 wear uniforms according to these guidelines: Jumpers, skirts, shorts, and shorts must be no shorter than two inches above the knee. Baggy pants may not be worn at any time and pants may not be worn below the natural waist.
