Dress Code

Your school uniform is a confirmation of your attendance at St. Angela Merici School and is a
symbol of unity within our school community. It minimizes distractions in the learning process.
It is important that you take pride in your appearance by always wearing your complete uniform.
Remember that when you are wearing your school uniform inside and outside the classroom and
the school you are representing the school. Your behavior should be a credit to both yourself and
