School Uniform Policy & Guidelines
The Saint Theresa School uniform policy promotes discipline, decorum, and equality amongst all students. It develops and reinforces a sense of pride, both in the school and in the appearance of the individual. It also serves to limit distractions in the classroom. The Saint Theresa School uniform helps to instill in each child the recognition that he or she is an integral part of the school community, while also enhancing the positive image of Saint Theresa School in the wider community. Saint Paul writes in 1 Corinthians that the “body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.” With this understanding, Saint Theresa School seeks to foster the Christian virtues of modesty, obedience, responsibility, and orderliness through the implementation of this uniform policy.

Uniform Policy Details
Issues of equality, health, safety, and expense are factors that contribute to the establishment of Saint Theresa’s School Dress Code. The following school uniform policy will be strictly enforced at Saint Theresa School eective September 2023. Outlined below are the specic articles that make up the school uniform. Students are expected to wear uniforms to and from school each day. Gym uniforms should be worn for the entirety of the school day on gym days. Students will not be allowed to change clothes while at school or during after-school care (with the exception of St. Theresa student athletes attending after-school sports practices). It is the responsibility of the student to maintain his or her uniform.
The traditions of a Catholic education provide a standard for our students, which foster an environment conducive to learning, respective behavior, and school pride. All students are expected to wear their uniforms in a manner that exemplies this pride. Parents are expected to be the primary monitors of the uniform policy, and to help us by ensuring their child is in appropriate uniform each day. All teachers and the principal will address any noncompliance issues with the uniforms.
