Student Uniform Requirements

DRESS CODE (3303)
Saint’s Peter and Paul Catholic School values and needs the support of parents in cooperating and ensuring compliance with the dress code and grooming guidelines. Saint’s Peter and Paul Catholic School considers modesty, neatness, and pride in one’s appearance as both essential for the students’ learning environment as well as important for our children’s future.
All students at Saint’s Peter & Paul Catholic School are required to wear the uniform adopted by the School from the first day of school until the last day of school unless that student is participating in a School sanctioned Spirit Dress or Free Dress day. A student’s uniform is to fit properly, be clean, pressed and in good repair. Faded or torn uniform items are to be replaced.
Although every faculty and staff member is charged with enforcing the uniform code, it is primarily the responsibility of the parents to make sure that their students are properly dressed. Students are expected to follow the dress code expectations of their biological sex throughout the school day and during all school events, which include, but are not limited to, athletics, extracurricular, and social activities. The dress code which follows will be enforced by the administration, faculty, and staff.
Because uniforms look alike, all articles of clothing should be marked with the student’s name--preferably with “sew-in” labels as ink markings eventually wash out.

The Principal or the Principal’s designee(s) has the authority to determine whether a student’s appearance and attire are in conformity with the School’s dress and grooming code. The Principal’s judgment in these matters is final. The administration may call the parents or guardians of students who are dressed inappropriately and require that a change of clothing in conformity with the School’s standards be brought to School.
Dollar Free Dress Days:- Throughout the year, there will be days when students are not required to wear their uniforms to School. These are referred to as “Dollar Free Dress” Days. Free Dress Days are currently scheduled to take place once a grading quarter as listed on the Free Dress/Spirit Dress Day calendar set forth herein. In order to participate in Free Dress Day, the student must pay a $1.00 fee on that day, and all the money collected will be donated to a charity chosen by the Principal. Clothing worn on Free Dress Day is to be in good taste and should not distract from the learning process.
- Baggy pants
- T-shirts with inappropriate advertisements (alcohol, innuendo, sex, tobacco, violence, drugs etc.)
- Bandanas
- Midriff, halter, spaghetti straps, strapless, exposed back, sheer or tank top shirts or dresses (dresses or skirts shall touch the top of the kneecap in the front and back of the knee.

Any student found to be inappropriately dressed will have his or her parents or guardian called to bring appropriate clothing to the School or to take the student home resulting in an unexcused absence for that day. The student will remain in a supervised designated area until the issue is resolved. The student also risks the ability to participate in future Free Dress Days. The $1.00 paid will not be returned.

Changing Clothing After School

Students in the sports program are permitted to change out of their uniform for sports practice and competitions. Students in the After School Program must remain in full uniform otherwise.
Special Circumstances
Students participating in school-related activities, such as extracurricular, PSIA activities or other special functions, may have a different dress or grooming code required by the sponsor, coach, or administration. If such occurrence happens, the faculty member responsible is asked to notify the administration and teachers in advance.
Enforcement of School Dress Code
Teachers are expected to enforce the student dress code of Saint’s Peter and Paul Catholic School. Failing to meet the dress code standard is a Level 1 behavior event and is to be entered under Behavior in RebWeb for the child involved. Repeated violations will increase this to a Level 2 violation and will require administration involvement.Lost and Found
