2010-2011
Saint Michael Catholic School Uniform News
This year has been a transition
year for all families to begin to re-place the student’s school uniform
wardrobe with the new branded uniforms. Uniforms
are a great part of the tradition of Catholic education. The purpose of a uniform is to bring greater
discipline, focus on studies, self-discipline, and equality. We are very proud of our school and show our
pride by wearing our school uniform properly & proudly.
As a reminder, for the
2009-2010 School Year, ALL
uniform white polo shirts, t-shirts, oxford shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants,
warm up suits, and pullovers must have the logo below:

the initials SMS or SMCS,
Other Important Uniform Information Reminders:
In addition to your child
wearing the proper branded uniform pieces, this is a good time to evaluate
other uniform guidelines.

supplier. It is important that all the
girls wear the same standard uniform with the proper length.

for your child. Jumpers should NOT have the logo above or any
other logo or patch on them.
Sweatshirts/Sweatpants/Warm Up Suits - As outlined in the uniform policy earlier this year, the
new hunter green monogrammed sweatshirts will continue to be a part of
the PE uniform. Beginning in August
2009, students in grades 2 and above will need to wear the new monogrammed PE
warm up suit pants, no sweatpants. Students in Kindergarten through first grade
may continue to wear the monogrammed sweatpants. All sweatpants/Sweatshirts
must be hunter green and have the embroidered logo shown above. Pre-K students
will continue to wear the PE Uniform sweatshirt and sweatpants.

style. Please ensure pants/shorts are
the proper length and size for your child.

have their shirt tucked in with a belt at all times.
