Uniform Code

Below is the uniform code for St. Brigid School. Uniforms are used at St. Brigid and other Catholic schools for a few reasons. First, they help to foster a sense of order in the classroom. Second, they indicate to students that school is an institution that must be respected, and it is proper to dress respectfully at school. Finally, uniforms help to lessen the impact of the economic disparity present in any school. All students are dressed alike and can concentrate on learning, instead of “who is wearing what.” It is with these very Catholic goals in mind that we developed the uniform code. At St. Brigid it will be enforced by classroom teachers and staff and it is expected that all students will comply.   Thank you very much for your cooperation in this matter.
