Uniform Policy

Section 5-Dress Code
5.1 General Regulations
In order to encourage the environment of unity and school pride, it is the policy of St. Paul Catholic School that a school issued uniform shall be worn by all students. Each day students are expected to be clean, well groomed, and uniforms are to be in good repair. School uniforms are available through the school only. The Principal will announce casual days or exceptions to the uniform code. Parents will be notified of any changes in the uniform code. 
5.2 Dress Code
Monday-Thursday Wear


TOPS: Hunter Green or Navy


  • Short or long sleeve t-shirt with school logo (all t-shirts are sold through the office)
  • Sweat shirts, hoodies with school logo
  • Polo style, plain, hunter green or navy shirts can be worn without the school logo. These can be purchased from any store. 
  • Shirts must be tucked in at all times. Please make sure your child's shirt is long enough to be tucked in. 
-No long sleeve shirts under short sleeve shirts.  We sell long sleeve uniform shirts in the office.

OUTERWEAR:  Students can wear any coat or jacket from home to school and outdoors (recess and walking to church or gym).  However, these are not considered part of the uniform/dress code so they cannot be kept on inside the building. Students can bring gloves, scarves and hats, but are responsible for keeping up with these items.  St. Paul jackets, zip-up hoodies, sweatshirts can be worn inside the building because they are considered uniform.  *Anything purchased from school as a uniform can be worn all day. 

PANTS, CAPRIS, SHORTS AND JUMPERS: 
  • Khaki in color. 
  • There is no specific brand that you have to buy, but large branding cannot be shown on pants.  
  • NO JEAN, CORDUROY OR CARGO TYPE.  NO EXTRA POCKETS, BUTTONS, or  ZIPPERS.
  •  Elastic waist bottoms are only allowed if they have belt loops for a belt (this excludes skirts and Kindergarten students because they do not have to wear belts yet). 
  • The idea is to have PLAIN, normal Khaki colored pants.  
  • PANTS CANNOT BE TIGHT AND REVEALING (like leggings or jeggings).
  • Shorts must be an appropriate length. The office will use a dollar bill to measure if in question (the student will kneel and dollar bill placed vertically on the floor and the shorts or skirts must touch the bill). 
SKIRTS AND SKORTS: Khaki.  
  • These too must be at the dollar bill length. 
  • Belts have to be worn if the skirt has belt loops.

  • Tennis shoes and slip-on shoes (Bobs, Keds, etc) can be any color. 
  • No sandals, open-toed/open heeled, flip-flops or light-up shoes
  • No rain boots
  • boots can be worn under pants, not over pants (this goes for girls and boys). 
  •  Boots can also be worn with uniform skirts but they have to be PLAIN (meaning no sparkles, etc) brown, black or neutral in color.  They can be worn over tights or leggings with a skirt.  
  • They cannot be worn over skinny pants or other uniform pants.
  • Cowboy/cowgirl boots can be worn underneath pants as long as they are soft-soled and non-pointed toes.  They cannot be worn openly with skirts.

  • Girls can wear tights, knee socks or leggings in white or cream (no other colors). 
  • If boys are wearing shorts, they need to wear ankle socks and not tall crew type socks
HAIR STYLES: 

Girls: 
  • Hair must be clean and combed.
