Our uniform has been carefully designed to ensure comfort, functionality, and adherence to our school's values, along with fostering a sense of unity, professionalism, and pride among our students.
1. Design:
The uniform features are:
- For both boys and girls, short and long-sleeved polo shirts with our SJCP logo to match the quarter zip,
- For girls, a plaid skirt that features our school colors,
- For both boys and girls, FlynnO’Hara pants and shorts only.
Previously purchased polos with Saint John’s Catholic Prep in script may still be worn.
2. Dress Code:
The dress code guidelines for the uniform are consistent with the uniform policy found in our handbook. Students are expected to wear the complete uniform as outlined in our handbook. Specific items to note:
- All students must wear black or brown leather dress shoes; boat shoes are acceptable.
- When pants are worn, a black or brown belt should be worn.
- For the Mass uniform, a white oxford shirt must be worn. This item does not have to be purchased through FlynnO’Hara
- For the Mass uniform, a navy blue blazer must be worn. This item does not need to be purchased through FlynnO’Hara.
- The SJCP quarter zip is the only acceptable outerwear during the school day.
- White, blue, or black socks are required for our students to be in full uniform. If a girl chooses to wear the skirt option, the socks must cover the ankle bone.
- When wearing a skirt during the Winter Uniform period, only black or navy blue tights or leggings must be worn.
Failure to adhere to the policies will result in a notification home, expectation to rectify the uniform infraction immediately, and detention.
