All students must have a “dress” uniform, which will be worn on designated days.  Alternates will be phased out over the next two years.  Parents are encouraged to limit new purchases to the dress uniform.

 

Dress uniforms include dress shoes.  Shoes should be conservative, sturdy, closed-toe shoes that either tie or buckle.  When sneakers are worn, they should be plain, void of color and excessive logos.  All shoes and sneakers must have “non-mare” soles.

Tag Days

 

Tag Days are days students have the option of wearing clothing other than their uniforms.  Please consult the School calendar, web-site and backpack flyers for scheduled Tag Days.  Appropriate attire is required.  No tank tops or spaghetti straps are allowed.  “Short shorts” are not allowed.  Our desire is to give students a break from wearing school uniforms.  However, we ask that parents carefully monitor styles and fashions that may be inappropriate in a Catholic school setting.
