Uniform Policy

Our Sacred Heart school uniform represents solidarity with the entire Catholic educational community and is a good reflection of each student’s own school pride. Students are best prepared for school when they are properly dressed and groomed in school uniform; thus encouraging better self-discipline within students, while reducing peer pressure on campus.

By registering their child(ren) at Sacred Heart Parish School, parents indicate their intention to accept and observe the school’s uniform dress code.

Sacred Heart Parish School students are to be in uniform starting the first day of school. Uniforms are compulsory for both girls and boys. Students are expected to follow standards of cleanliness, neatness, and modesty in everything they wear. The school uniform must be worn at all times (except on non-uniform dress days). Any violation of the uniform policy will result in age-appropriate responses being taken by homeroom teachers/administration for noncompliance including: parent notification, parents called to campus to correct the violation, or disciplinary action (notice, probation, suspension, expulsion) for serious and/or habitual violations.
