Uniform Policy
Saint Mary students are expected to wear the designated uniform on all days. They are expected to dress neatly and be clean in appearance at all times. This includes having uniform shirts tucked in at all times.
It is the responsibility of the parent that the child is dressed according to the uniform code. The judgment of the principal is final in all questions regarding the school dress code.
School uniforms can be purchased from Dennis Uniform. Please click the link for Dennis Uniform: The Nation's Leading School Uniform Provider | DENNIS Uniform

Non-uniform Day Dress Code
If the school is having a special dress-up day or if the students may dress out of uniform to go on a field trip, the attire worn to school should be proper and appropriate. Torn jeans or clothes that have inappropriate messages, which the school philosophy would not endorse, are not to be worn. If a student does wear such inappropriate clothing, (“inappropriate” as decided upon by the administration) he/she will be required to call home for a change of clothes or he/she will not be allowed to participate in any of the activities of that special day. Tank tops, spaghetti straps, low cut tops, short shorts, or shirts which expose the midriff are never allowed.
May Crowning Attire
This is a reverent occasion that the eighth graders look forward to all year and it is traditional for the eighth-grade students to dress up on this day. As befits this holy occasion, Dress-up Day or more formal attire is appropriate. Rules for proper attire will be strictly enforced and any student who does not follow these guidelines will not be allowed to participate in the procession or Mass.
Girls may not wear gowns; No backless dresses, halter dresses, low cut dresses, strapless dresses, or spaghetti strap dresses are permitted. Skirts or dresses must be 3 inches above the knee or longer. Jackets or sweaters may be worn over their dresses if needed.
Boys must wear a shirt with a collar and tie with dress pants and dress shoes. Sport coats are optional. Denim and gym shoes are not permitted for girls or boys
