Students must wear the approved uniform from the official list. If a student arrives at school wearing non-uniform clothing, they will be sent to the school office to call home for the correct uniform attire. Repeated violations of the uniform dress code will result in detention or a more serious consequence. The uniform should be clean and neat.
Shirttails must be tucked in while the student is on campus.
1. Students are not allowed to change from their Mass uniform on Mass days.
2. If a student does not wear the required Mass or daily uniform, the student will be sent to the Office and the parent will be called to bring the required uniform items needed by the student. The student will wait in the office at the discretion of the classroom teacher until the clothing is brought to school. If the required clothing is not brought to the student, the student will be outfitted in a school uniform, if possible.
3. The School Staff reserves the right to judge whether any item or fashion fad (i.e. hair cut, accessories, etc.) is incompatible with the uniform policy.

Grooming:
Student’s hair must be kept trimmed, neatly combed and clean. Hairstyles should not obscure vision or interfere with schoolwork or cause distractions among classmates. Students are not permitted to dye or bleach their hair. Boys are also required to be clean-shaven at all times regardless of ethnic background. Junior High girls may wear make-up; however, it must be moderate, simple, and appropriate for school. Glitter make-up is not allowed and heavy make-up must be washed off. Teachers and administrators have the right to judge clothing, make-up, and hairstyles as appropriate or inappropriate.
Students who violate the uniform policy will be written up for the violation. Repeated violations of the uniform dress code will result in disciplinary action.
