School Student Uniform Requirements

INTRODUCTION

Student dress, grooming, and personal cleanliness impact the image of St. John Vianney Catholic School. It is a part of a school tradition to wear uniforms to avoid class distinction and over-interest in fads. Besides representing school families, the clean, up-to-code uniform draws students’ attention to community responsibility. A neat, clean, and tasteful appearance with well-groomed hair create an atmosphere of confidence, respect, and learning. Moreover, it is an opportunity to uphold, reflect, and respect the dignity of the human person. In adhering to the St. John Vianney Catholic School uniform and dress code, students practice the virtues of humility, modesty, obedience, and respect. ​

​ It is the joint responsibility of parents and students to see that the uniform and dress code of the school is carried out daily; it is the responsibility of the teacher and staff to monitor and report non-compliance. Every student is expected to be in proper uniform every school day unless otherwise authorized. The uniform should be neat, clean, and in good repair. Violations of any uniform, dress code and appearance requirements are subject to school disciplinary sanctions. ​ ​

The school cannot anticipate every fashion trend that may develop and therefore reserves the right to make judgments regarding the application of these general guidelines to specific items at any time.

Students may have a uniform holiday on or near their birthdays (must be approved by the teacher).

    On occasion, when students earn Casual Dress or a non-uniform Casual Dress day is planned, our policy requires clothing that fits properly, so it is not over-sized or tight fitting.
