St. Edward Dress Code Policy:

Our dress code is established to help maintain an atmosphere conducive to teaching and learning. A good attitude about one's appearance carries over into one's attitude within the classroom. For this reason, St Edward students wear a uniform. If you are in doubt, please check with the school office before purchasing clothing or accessories for school use. Students must follow the dress code. Students whose attire does not conform to the dress code will call home for proper clothing. Parents will be notified if their child is not adhering to the dress code.
