The proper wearing of our uniforms reduces the amount of daily distractions for our students, allowing them to focus on their education and spiritual growth. At St. Ann Catholic School, our uniform code offers a diverse set of options while maintaining strict adherence to ensure a focused and respectful learning environment.
- All students in Pre-K through 8th Grade are required to wear the approved school uniform every day.
- Uniforms must be clean, in good repair, and worn correctly at all times during the school day.
- Only approved uniform items from Flynn O'Hara or designated alternates may be worn. Non-uniform clothing is not permitted.
- Spirit wear and designated dress-down days are announced in advance by the school office.
- Students out of uniform without a written excuse from a parent may receive a dress code infraction. Repeat infractions may result in disciplinary action.

- Plan for Growth: Consider buying one size up for items like polos and pants, especially for younger students who may have a growth spurt mid-year.
- Label Everything: Iron-on or permanent marker labels help ensure lost items find their way back to their owner.
