Saints Peter and Paul School's dress code reflects our view that a standardized, attractive, tidy uniform is of value.  Such attire is an outward sign of our pride in education in our Catholic identity and values, in our school, faculty, staff, and student body.  Students wearing something other than the uniform visibly separate themselves from the student body.

Oversized shirts, pants or shorts will not be permitted, as are “undersized” clothes.  Uniforms are to be clean and in good repair.  Shirts are to be tucked in at all times for both boys and girls.  Walking shorts and skorts are to be to-the-knee length for girls and boys. The plaid for Saints Peter and Paul School is the plaid that is approved for use by a designated uniform supplier.

Students who are out of uniform will be given a warning.  Repetitive warnings will result in disciplinary measures.

Boys: Navy blue or khaki dress pants (“Dockers” style), navy blue or khaki knee length walking shorts, white or navy blue polo shirt.  Only solid white undershirts that do not go above the uniform shirt collar or hang below the sleeves or the bottom of the shirt are permitted.
