Uniforms
Uniforms
are a tradition of Catholic schools. They contribute to the school's sense
of pride and distinction. Students wear uniforms in order to practice
discipline. The students look well groomed and with a uniform-look give an
outward sign of being a community. Wearing uniforms shows equality of all
students by de-emphasizing economic differences. Uniforms also lessen peer
pressure and enhance self-esteem. They promote a focus on the development
of the "inside" of the students rather than the externals and what the
students are wearing. Clothes do not become a distraction. Uniforms
are practical, durable, and economical. Again, the emphasis for students
coming to school is to prepare their minds for learning. Uniforms are worn
daily. Each student is required to own a uniform in good clean condition
and is expected to wear it at all times except on designated "Free Dress
Days". Only approved uniform attire may be worn in the school
building. Whenever specific clarification is necessary, the principal will
make the final determination.
Students
who must deviate from the uniform policy are requested to present a note to the
teacher. A student who has three uniform infractions, will lose their next
free dress day, their parents will be contacted, and the student may be sent
home until they fulfill uniform requirements, or be asked to wear something from
the lost and found box.
