Students, please remember that the handbook states:
"Students must wear the uniform polo every day except on Cardinal Pride Days or other special dress days."
Even if you are wearing a sweatshirt, your polo must be worn underneath it and the collar should be visible. T-shirts under the sweatshirt do not meet the dress code.
We're getting a little lazy about this. Please follow the approved dress code or you risk receiving a demerit.
