St. Michael students wear uniforms in grades PK-8. In a society where there is so much emphasis on external appearances and material possessions, it behooves us as parents and educators to help our children grow in the ability to see through and beyond these concerns to more important values.

All uniform items, except the P.E. uniforms for Grades 6-8, are available through Parker Uniforms. All clothing should be clearly marked on the inside with the student’s name.

Dress Code
St. Michael students wear uniforms in grades PK-8. In an effort to teach our children that it is not the clothing nor the possessions that make each person special, St. Michael Catholic School requires all students to wear the uniform prescribed for their grade level. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to see that students conform to the uniform regulations. Failure to cooperate with the school in this area would perhaps indicate a philosophical difference with the school that should be explored. Students in violation of uniform regulations will be issued a School Uniform Violation. Further consequences may also be given, including ineligibility for free dress days.
 
All uniform items, except the P.E. uniforms for Grades 6-8, are available through Parker Uniform. Uniform order forms are distributed each spring and are available in the school office throughout the year. All clothing should be in good condition and clearly marked on the inside with the student’s name.
 
Required Dress Uniform
The following dress uniform will be required whenever the students attend all-school liturgies and at any other time directed by the administration.  Students are not allowed to wear shorts to Mass. If a student if not dressed appropriately, he/she will not be allowed to participate in liturgies or special ceremonies.
