Land's End School UniformUniform Dress Code

Ss. Peter & Paul School has a well-defined uniform policy.  When parents enroll their children in the school, it is with the understanding that the uniform code, along with other school expectations, regulations, and policies, will be followed.  Uniforms are just that – uniforms.  They are not intended to reflect the fashion trends of the moment.  The purpose of the school uniform is to contribute to the academic atmosphere of the school, give students a feeling of equality, to provide a visible sense of school unity and identity, and to cut clothing costs. All students in grades K-6 must adhere to the uniform guidelines. All uniform attire should be clean and pressed and must be in good repair – hemmed, sewn at seams, not torn, not faded or “worn,” etc. No outside jackets are to be worn in the classroom.  However, SSPP cardigans from Land’s End are permitted.

If new uniforms items must be purchased, it is recommended that they be purchased through Land’s End (School Number 900027475), as these items are in conformity with the current policy.  You can find the link to Land’s End on our website www.ssppcatholic.org.  If parents choose not to purchase the shorts and pants from Land’s End, please make sure that uniform guidelines are followed.  In an effort to ensure that the purchase of uniform pieces does not constitute a financial burden for our families, a uniform exchange program has been implemented.
