SUMMER UNIFORM:   The summer uniform may be worn from the first day of school to September 30th.   The starting date for the spring will be determined at a later date.  The regular uniform will replace the shorts on days when students attend Mass.   For a special occasion, the principal retains the right to ask the students to wear the regular school uniform. 

            The  summer uniform consists of navy blue uniform shorts worn with a green polo shirt which has the St. Patrick Cathedral School insignia on the front.  The shorts must come to just above the knee.  Girls are allowed to wear skorts which must come to just above the knee.  White or navy ankle socks are worn with the summer uniform. Socks must come above the ankle and be folded over. 

Please note that boys who do not wear the summer uniform must wear the regular navy blue pants along with the blue shirt, tie and vest.  The polo shirt is part of the summer uniform only.

 

Hair:  Boys hair may not be below the collar and must be kept neat.  Girls hair must be pulled back, out of the eyes.  Hair ribbons should be small and unobtrusive.  Any hair style which is contrary to good hygiene, is a distraction, or disruptive to the purpose of the school will not be permitted.  Tails, stripes, and decoratively shaved hair styles are not allowed.  HAIR MAY NOT BE ARTIFICALLY, HIGHLIGHTED, COLORED OR BLEACHED, AND EXTENSIONS MAY NOT BE WORN.   IF HAIR HAS BEEN COLORED, BLEACHED OR HIGHLIGHTED IT MUST BE RETURNED TO ITS NATURAL HAIR COLOR BEFORE THE STUDENT IS ALLOWED TO RETURN TO SCHOOL.

No make-up, tinted or colored chapsticks or lip gloss, nail polish or earrings except for studs will be permitted.   The consequence for not wearing the appropriate school uniform or not following the guidelines on No Uniform Days will result in detention.   

 

We all realize that learning is a priority at St. Patrick School.  We try our best to minimize distractions which hinder learning.  Therefore, we need to emphasize that certain fads arise that cause serious distractions to the students.  For that reason nail polish may not be worn during school time and no type of bracelets may be worn around the wrists.  The length of the jumpers and skirts is that the hem should come just below the knee.  WE DO NOT COMPETE WITH THE LATEST FASHIONS!
