Early Birds & Late Birds

The primary purpose of the dress code is to ensure that each student at St. Joseph School follows our community's uniform regulations in addition to appearing neat, clean, and well groomed. The faculty and principal handle infractions. It is the parent's responsibility to see that their children are neat, clean, well groomed, and dressed in accordance with this code. Parents should save themselves the inconvenience of having to come and pick up their child from school by making sure that all uniform requirements are met.

Uniforms must be clean and pressed at all times. Uniform shirts and blouses must be tucked in at all times. Parents will be called to pick up their child if they arrive in class not properly groomed.

St. Joseph School has a contract with Vicki Marsha Originals and all uniforms must be purchased from them exclusively:
