School Uniform Policy
At St. Ann’s Academy, the wearing of a school uniform promotes the feeling of belonging to a proud and vibrant community. As a symbol of our community it is important that student uniforms be well-kept so as to showcase individual pride and school spirit. The wearing of a school uniform removes the social pressures that many of our young people feel today while at the same time letting them know that they are all equal when they enter our school community.
Aside from Kindergarten, Dress Down Days and special theme days, all students attending St. Ann’s Academy are expected to come to school wearing their uniforms. All acceptable uniform shirts and sweaters, except the Mass shirt, must have the school crested embroidery on them.
