Dress Code
The dress code reflects St. Joseph Consolidated School’s philosophy. The uniform is a Catholic school tradition. It is also useful as a means of setting students in the proper mindset of school and all the behavioral expectations that go along with being in the school environment. Parents are expected to support the school’s policy by ensuring their son or daughter complies with the dress code.
