St. Rita Uniforms

The St. Rita School Board has established the following dress code for students:

St. Rita Catholic School dress code is intended to promote the virtues of modesty. It is to maintain a proper academic environment within the school and reduce superficial competitiveness so that character, rather than appearance, can be the focus. Students are expected to come to school appropriately dressed at all times. It is the parents’ responsibility to make sure the child is in uniform each day.

Additional Dress Code Requirements

The correct styles and colors of all uniforms are available at Shaheen’s.

St Rita School uses the fingertip rule. The bottom of the shorts or skirts shall not be above a student’s fingertips when standing straight and placing arms down with fingers extended. This rule also applies for out-of-uniform days.

No coats, jackets, hats, gloves or non-uniform pants are allowed to be worn in the classrooms during class time or while changing classes. These items must also be removed while in church.

Any article of clothing, fashion accessory, or manner of grooming that draws undue attention to a student or creates any type of disturbance will not be permitted. Students who choose to wear inappropriate clothing will be given uniform infractions.

Final decisions regarding student dress is reserved for administration. Students out of dress code will be spoken to privately and respectfully. If a student’s attire is deemed to be out of the dress code guidelines, out-of-uniform infractions will be given for non-compliance (see bottom of “Dress Code” policy for infraction levels). Also, if a student is out of uniform, parents may need to bring a change of appropriate clothes to school or the student will be given something to wear by the office staff.
