Uniform Policy for School Year 2010-2011

At St. Ignatius, Martyr, Catholic School dress expresses one's attitude toward learning, outwardly signifying the whole person. Proper dress indicates one's self-respect, and symbolizes the unity of purpose and philosophy at St. Ignatius, Martyr, Catholic School. The school uniform should always be worn with dignity and proper decorum on or off-campus and students must conduct themselves properly when in their school uniform.

Students must wear the St. Ignatius, Martyr, Catholic School uniform in order to promote discipline and to foster pride in being a student of St. Ignatius, Martyr Catholic School.

Students are required to observe the dress code fully and properly while they are wearing the uniform including recess, lunchtime, and between classes. Students who are not wearing the proper school uniform will receive a demerit or detention and must have their parents bring the missing items to school immediately.
