Saint Raphael Uniform Dress Code

The objective of the Uniform Dress Code at St. Raphael School is to maintain an appearance of neatness, visual uniformity, and simplicity.  Good grooming is part of the education of a child.  Through it we teach self-discipline, self control, self respect, importance of proper dress for different occasions, and the seriousness of educational learning.

Please visit http://www.schoolbelles.com for all of your children's uniform needs.

 

With that in mind, students shall be dressed as follows:
