***NEW CONFISCATED CLOTHING POLICY***
As of 11-01-23 a new policy has gone into effect . It is called the "Confiscated Clothing Policy." Because so many students are continuing to violate the St Catherine's Dress code, a parent will now have to come to the Main Office and pick up any article of clothing that gets confiscated.
As a reminder:
The outermost layer of the students' tops MUST have the Dominican Shield, SC logo, say St. Catherine’s, Angels or be a school approved team/club/spirit wear shirt.
Jackets may not be worn unless it is a SCHS coat or it is underneath a SCHS top.
Hooded sweatshirts will be allowed; however, hoods are always to remain down and must adhere to the above dress code guidelines. (must be SCHS wear and if not need to be under a SCHS top; colors must still be gray, black, white, yellow)
Pants must be khaki, gray, or black pants/denim material. No rips or shreds allowed and no sweatpants!
