SJCS SCHOOL UNIFORM GUIDELINES
St. Joseph Consolidated School requires uniform attire for ALL students. In order to maintain focus on schoolwork, students must refrain from dressing in any manner which is identified by staff or administration as distracting from the business of school. All students should maintain acceptable standards of cleanliness and personal hygiene to keep from being a distraction and concern to others.
A student appearing at school who is not meeting the requirements of the dress code, will be asked to call his/her parents/guardians in order that suitable clothing can be brought to school. The student will initially receive a warning for non-compliance. Students will be assigned conduct points if warning(s) are ignored. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT THE OFFICE BEFORE PURCHASING UNIFORM ITEMS. THE UNIFORM CODE WILL BE ENFORCED.
