13. Label all student’s belongings with the student’s name.
    

If for some reason a student is unable to conform with the dress code on any given day, he or she should bring a note from a parent explaining the difficulty. Any student who continually fails to comply with the dress code will be referred to the Principal or Assistant Principal by his/her homeroom teacher for willful disobedience which may result in detention or suspension.

When the privilege is given to the students for a dress down or out-of-uniform day, it is expected that the students dress in a manner reflective of the Catholic values of modesty. There will be no bare backs or bare midriffs.  Students are not permitted to wear any clothing that is see-through, excessively tight, short, or underclothing as an outer garment. All shorts and skirts must be knee-length.  Any student inappropriately dressed will be asked to call their parent to bring a change of clothing for them.

These rules of modesty in dress also apply to special school functions day and evening, when uniforms are not required.

At no time are ‘roller sneakers’ or ‘skate sneakers’ allowed in school.

The school has a Uniform Exchange Program where parents are able to turn in used uniforms in exchange for one that fits their child.  Announcements will be made as to the dates and times of the exchange.
