Uniform Policy 2022-23

We encourage our students to take pride in their St. Augustine Catholic School uniform. Our dress code fosters the goals of Catholic education by promoting concepts of equality and community in young people.  Therefore, proper school attire and grooming are considered an important element in creating an atmosphere in which educational objectives are met.  Parents will be notified when students fail to comply with the school uniform policy and consequences may include, but are not limited to, detention and/or loss of “dress differently” privileges. Our uniform can be purchased at Flynn O’Hara Uniforms.

The school administration has the final decision as to what is or is not a violation of the dress code.

The School recognizes that particular hairstyles are often part of racial, ethnic, spiritual, and cultural identity and practice. Accordingly, it is the policy of the School to permit individual families to decide the appropriate cared–for hairstyle for their children.  ADM 8.0
