Dress Code/Uniform Policy


Beginning with the 2016-17 School Year a change in the uniform will be in effect. Southtowns Catholic School is changing the logo, plaid and colors of the school uniform. Please be aware that this is a two year process. If you are not buying a new uniform for your child, then the old plaid and colors are acceptable for the 2017-2018 School Year. However, if you intend to purchase a new uniform for your child please purchase the new style. Uniforms will be available for purchase at McKay's by the summer. 

Uniforms must be worn daily as prescribed unless otherwise specified on the school website or in written communication is sent home. Each piece of the uniform should be labeled with the student's name or initials. Student who arrive at school out of uniform will receive a warning, If lack of adherence to the uniform policy continues, parents will be notified.
