UNIFORMS 

Proper conduct and appropriate dress reflect the virtues of modesty and self-respect and are essential to maintaining a positive atmosphere for learning.  It is the responsibility of parents to assure students are dressed according to this dress code before leaving for school.  Parents may be called regarding infractions to the dress code and asked to bring a change of clothes to school.  Multiple infractions may result in further disciplinary actions.  Administration reserves the right to make final interpretations or changes in the dress code below.

All school uniforms must be purchased at Lands' End, Tommy Hilfiger, or through the Uniform Closet located at the school. Skirts, skorts, shirts, hoodies and fleece jackets not purchased from these two vendors are considered out of uniform.  Shorts and pants only may be purchased from the Target School Uniform section or Old Navy School Uniform section (both in-store and online) following the below guidelines. P.E. uniforms, Trinity Spirit shirts, Kindergarten shirts and sweatpants are purchased through School Spirit Shop USA. All personal items (clothing, lunch boxes, etc.) must be labeled with student’s name. Uniforms must be clean, with no marks or tears.
