Uniform Policy Overview
PURPOSE OF UNIFORM
It is both in the spirit and in the structure of the Catholic school to require students to be attentive to their dress. Dress does, in part, define the person in addition to supporting the values and the mission of Bishop Machebeuf High School and the Archdiocese. Proper dress is an important indicator of respect for oneself and others. Students are expected to be properly dressed when they enter the building in the morning and to remain properly dressed until the end of the school day. All articles of dress are to be worn properly and as intended. Articles of clothing which are not part of the uniform are to be placed in lockers prior to the beginning of first period and must remain in the lockers until students are dismissed for the day. It is the goal of Bishop Machebeuf High School to accomplish the following by having a dress code:
- Develop a sense of identity and pride within the individual with modesty as the guideline.
- Help students realize that school is their “job” at this time in their lives, and they must dress accordingly.
- To have parents/guardians and students understand that by freely choosing BMHS, they also freely choose to be in compliance with its rules and regulations and will support them, even when it is inconvenient.
