School Uniform and Dress Code Policy

Holy Redeemer Catholic School views the education and formation of its students as its most important task. All aspects of school life must support this task. Therefore, the school requires that the students dress in a specific manner that contributes to the creation of a Catholic-Christian learning environment. If the school uniform and dress code policy is a financial problem, parents/guardians should contact the Principal or the Pastor.

Students are expected to arrive at school and leave school each day dressed according to code and neatly groomed. Parents/guardians should also be sure that students attend to matters of personal hygiene and grooming. All clothes must be clean and in good repair.

All students in grades K-8 must wear the school uniform. In the interest of keeping uniforms as affordable as possible, uniform pants, skirts, shorts etc. may be purchased through any of the following: Dennis Uniform Company, A+ School Uniforms/BC Graphics, Land’s End, Old Navy, GAP, Sears, J.C. Penny, Target or any store as long as the policy is followed. The Holy Redeemer plaid is only available through Dennis Uniform. Polar fleece vests, shirts and sweatshirts with the school name or logo may be ordered through Land’s End or Dennis Uniform.

The Principal will be in contact with the parents if the student does not follow the dress code. The Principal and/or the Pastor will make the final decision on all matters of uniform and dress code should any questions arise.
