Dress Code
St. Mary’s Grade School requires students to be uniformly dressed. Such uniformity facilitates the achievement of many of our value-oriented objectives. Students should take pride in themselves and in the way they think, feel and act. Our dress code is designed to support this objective.
- Please note that some French Toast brand styles do not meet SMS Dress Code requirements.
- Shirt tails must be tucked in at all times. Please make sure shirt tails are not too short.
- Students are permitted to wear SMS Hoodies (gray or navy) to school.

Parental discretion is advised for no uniform days!
