STUDENT DRESS & UNIFORM POLICY:
SAINT CECILIA MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL

The purpose of the student dress and uniform policy is to create a consistent image for our students. Studies have shown that in schools where a student dress and uniform policy has been implemented, student behavior and level of professionalism in the classroom were significantly impacted, leading to a higher level of achievement. The student dress and uniform policy also creates a sense of identity and belonging, as well as provides students with an opportunity to be witnesses to their Catholic beliefs.
The primary responsibility for students being in the proper uniform rests with the parents. However, students are mature enough to accept this responsibility and are asked to exercise their school spirit by adhering to the Student Dress and Uniform Policy. The Administration and individual classroom teachers have the discretion to determine whether a student is in full compliance with the Student Dress and Uniform Policy. Students will be asked to remove any accessory that is distracting to learning. A student may be removed from class until such time as they are in compliance if the uniform infraction is not easily corrected. Detention may be
assigned.
All STC students are to carry their key cards on their person at all times.
