Uniform Guidelines
Uniforms are worn except on free dress days, birthdays, or when the principal gives special permission. The uniform is a symbol of a student's pride in himself/herself and a symbol of pride in the school.
Guidelines include:
- School shoes should be practical.
- Rubber soled shoes are recommended for PE days.
- Hats may not be worn in the building.
- Make-up, fingernail polish, and unnatural hair colors are not allowed.
- Earrings that hang below the ear lobe are not allowed.
- Students may wear a St. Benedict medal or simple cross and chain.
- Uniforms must be clean and appropriately sized.
- Full Uniform with sweatshirt must be worn on School Mass Days
- St. Benedict School hoodies may be worn on Fridays even if there is Mass
Uniforms are available at our Premier Partner the Dennis Uniform Store
online. Our school code is XTB355.
Uniforms pieces may be purchased outside the Dennis Uniform Store but must be of similar style and certain items (such as turtlenecks and socks) can sometimes be found at French Toast, Land's End, Old Navy, Gap, etc. All uniform items are required to be indistinguishable in both color and style from items available at the uniform store. Our uniform policy is enforced by all school personnel. Failure to adhere to the uniform policy may result in non-admittance to class, referral to the principal and/or a call to the parent or guardian.
