Dress Code Reminders
As we see our students returning to campus, it seems important to remind them (and you) that the dress code for hair requires the boys to have hair cut above the eyebrows in front, no more than halfway down the ear on the sides, and above the collar in back. Our young men must also be clean shaven.
A reminder to our young ladies that shirts must be long enough to make sure there is no exposed skin between the pants and shirt..
A reminder to all that closed-toed shoes are required.
Please make sure to take care of this before the school year starts to avoid disciplinary infractions!
Opening Mass and Eucharistic Procession
On Wednesday, August 25, we will have our opening Mass and Eucharistic Procession. Students are reminded to dress up for the occasion. No t-shirts or sweatshirts. We love ties and appropriate skirts and dresses! At the conclusion of Mass, Father Adam will lead us in a procession to bring the Body of Christ back to school and into our tabernacle once again. It is a moving experience and we are excited to once again participate in this important tradition.
