St. Joseph School maintains a traditional catholic school uniform policy for the purpose of enhancing the moral, academic and disciplinary atmosphere of our school.  Adherence to school policy is a prerequisite to registration and so parents are asked to cooperate by seeing to it that students always wear only the regulation dress.  The school uniform is a sign of St. Joseph School.  Our students identify with the school by wearing it with pride and respect.  It should always be kept neat and clean.
