The Uniform Policy of Roanoke Catholic School is outlined below. While dress code is certainly not the most important aspect in educating your child, it is important to have students dressed in a way that promotes a positive and cohesive learning environment without distractions. Students should maintain a modest, neat, and well-groomed appearance while at school and at all school functions. Clothing and hair should be neat, clean, and appropriate for school. Students should be in full uniform during the school day. Students may wear only items listed in uniform guidelines.
Dress code enforcement begins at home. Students will not be allowed to attend class or participate in school activities unless they are properly dressed. A student in violation of the dress code may be sent home to correct the violation immediately or a parent may be asked to bring the appropriate attire. In addition, demerits will be issued for non-compliance in grades 5-12. The administration reserves the right to determine what appropriate school attire is. Uniforms and embroidered items may be purchased directly from the school’s suppliers: Flynn and O’Hara, Global School Outfitters (Tommy Hilfiger), or Jammin’. Links appear on our school website. Our school logo is available for application through all suppliers.
