ST. AUGUSTINE SCHOOL DRESS CODE
2007-2008
St. Augustine School has a dress code that helps to create an atmosphere that is conducive to learning – free of the distractions that clothing choices can create. The Uniform Holiday guidelines are designed to aid students and parents in choosing clothing that would be appropriate for these days and for special occasions. Whenever a student is wearing a St. Augustine School uniform, he/she is a representative of our school and what we stand for – a quality, Christ-based education. St. Augustine School uniforms should be worn with pride!
