Dress Code

The St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic School uniform policy is designed to uphold the Christian virtues of modesty, self-respect, and respect for others as unique, beloved children of God. All students are required to wear the St. Max School uniform. The school uniform will enhance the student’s sense of belonging, foster dignified behavior, and reduce distractions for better academic performance. 

Students must be dressed neat and tidy: shirts must be tucked in (unless the banded shirt is worn) and clothing must be clean and in good repair.

Classroom teachers and staff will enforce the uniform policy. If a student is out of uniform, a note will be sent home.

***The only exception to the dress code will be made for a child due to health reasons.

School approved uniforms can be obtained through the St. Max gently used second-hand uniform inventory (located at the school) or purchased new through:
