St. Joseph Regional Catholic School Uniform Policy

St. Joseph Regional Catholic School students wear uniforms in grades Pre-Kindergarten-Eighth. Parents are expected to help children be in compliance with the school uniform code. At St. Joseph Regional School we wear uniforms in order to:

  • Represent our Catholic school image
  • Help instill discipline which contributes to academic success and other endeavors in life
  • Discourage differences brought about by various income levels, thus eliminating unnecessary peer pressure and allowing the attention of the students to be directed to learning
  • Assure that the dress standards of the school emphasize neatness
  • Promote an image of pride both at and away from school and help create a positive climate of discipline and responsibility
  • Promote an attitude of moderation and modesty
  • Provide cost effective clothing that is easily maintained
