St. Mary's Mandatory Uniform Policy

The uniform for students in grades K-6 was established to support a commitment to simplicity and lack of competition in the area of dress. Students should be dressed in school uniforms on the first day of school. All articles of clothing at school should have the child’s name on the inside label. Judgment regarding compliance with the dress code is left to the Principal. If you have questions in regard to any item being acceptable, please call the school before purchasing. Students not in proper uniform will be asked to contact parents to acquire proper uniform clothing.

The school recommends uniforms purchased from Land’s End, which has a list of approved uniform styles. Catalogs are available in the office.
