MOST new uniform pieces must be purchased from Lands’ End. It is recommended that mass be purchased from Flynn and O’Hara. There are a few exceptions for preschool and elementary school. All hand-me-downs and items from the uniform closet will continue to be acceptable as long as they meet all guidelines.

To make purchasing as simple as possible, we encourage you to set up a profile on the Lands’ End website. If you visit the Lands’ End website and choose “Find My School,” you will be directed to our school . ALL items on this dress code are approved uniform pieces for St. Anne School only. Our school number is 900155607.

The strict uniform serves many purposes: 1. The symbolism of the uniform is that God sees or views all of his children equally. 2. It reminds us that we are each differentiated by our gifts from God. 3. Our students learn to evaluate themselves and others by what is on the inside instead of what they are wearing on the outside. 4. It eliminates the question of whether or not an item is appropriate. 5. It contributes to the sense of community.
