Uniforms
General Policy
It is the policy of the school that a uniform and dress code be designed to enhance the educational environment of the students at Saint Ursula School.
All uniforms must be neat and clean at all times. They MUST be the proper size. No oversized or undersized uniforms, pants, shirts, shorts, belts, sweaters or shoes will be allowed.
Students not in proper uniform will receive a Uniform Infraction Notice and will be sent to the nurse to obtain a proper uniform or a parent will be contacted.

Hair must be neatly kept, no fad cuts or styles. Boys’ hair must be cut short on top and not touch the collar or ears. Extreme haircuts or unkempt styles are not permitted.

In those cases, it is the policy of St. Ursula School to permit individual families to receive an exception from this policy so that they may choose the appropriate cared-for hairstyle for their child.
