St. Mary's believes that performance in school is enhanced by setting high standards of dress and personal appearance that reflect pride in one's self and the school system.
St. Mary's School Administration reserves the right to determine what constitutes proper dress code in the spirit of its intent and in accordance with good taste and modest contemporary standards for a Catholic School.
Certain days will be designated as casual days by the administration. Appropriate uniform and casual day attire are outlined below. For more information on dress code, see the Parent/Student Handbook.
Where to shop
Parents may shop for uniform attire anywhere, but for your convenience, we have a 2nd-hand clothing store called Hector's Closet, located in downtown Remsen, where you can get shirts, pants, shorts, and sweatshirts at a major discount!
