St. Peter's Uniform Dress Code
Two purposes of a school uniform are to spare parents the cost of other school clothing and to ensure students are properly attired so that attention is focused on the learning process. Students must always dress in a manner consistent with the religious mission of St. Peter’s School. It is important that all students abide by the following dress code so that a teacher may use class time in proper educational pursuits rather than in the correction of infractions. All students must wear uniforms purchased from Dennis Uniform Company, or purchased through the Uniform Connection (used uniform sales at St. Peter’s).
Tops—all students’ shirts must be tucked in.
Grades K-8 may wear white or red, short or long sleeve, polo/uniform tops w/SPS/STP logo.
Grades 7-8 may wear navy, short or long sleeve, polo/uniform tops w/SPS/STP logo.
