Uniform Policy

Risen Christ Catholic School requires students to wear uniforms. Wearing uniforms helps students maintain an appearance that is conducive to learning, builds community, and reflects self-discipline. Uniforms will be clean and tidy, and will conform to the uniform guidelines. Classroom/homeroom teachers monitor uniform compliance on a regular basis. Students who are out of uniform will be sent to the office to get a proper uniform if possible. Students may be provided a uniform for the day and/or may be asked to call a parent/guardian. Exceptions may be made by the administration on a case-by-case basis. Frequent non-compliance may result in further consequences.
