Dress Code
At St. Mary OCS, our embrace of a dress code is rooted in creating a vibrant school culture and fostering a strong sense of pride and unity. The flexible choices in our dress code bottoms prioritize student comfort, allowing them to focus on their education and engage wholeheartedly in our spirited and close-knit school community. Dress codes at our school not only ensure equality but also serve as a source of collective identity, emphasizing the importance of character, actions, and contributions in shaping a positive and inclusive learning environment.
The official colors are the following: royal blue, orange or white polo shirts, and gray, navy, black or khaki bottoms. Boys can wear athletic school joggers or pull-on athletic jogger shorts. Girls can wear royal blue, white or orange collared dresses (with shorts underneath), or collared polos and gray, navy, black or khaki knee-length skorts or shorts.

Selecting bright blue, orange and white as our specific colors for our dress code polo shirts plays a vital role in fostering a strong sense of school spirit and identity at St. Mary OCS. These chosen colors symbolize our unity and pride in belonging to our school community. When students wear these colors, they are not just wearing a dress code; they are representing the values, traditions, and shared experiences that make our school unique. This uniformity brings us together, reminding us that we are part of something greater than ourselves — a supportive and inclusive educational family where every student is encouraged to thrive and contribute to our vibrant school spirit.
Indeed, dress codes are a practical choice that streamlines the morning routine for our students and their families. By eliminating the need to decide on daily outfits, students gain valuable time in the morning that can be better spent preparing for the day ahead, enjoying breakfast with family, or simply finding a moment of calm before school. This efficiency not only reduces morning stress but also encourages punctuality and ensures that our students start their day with a focused and positive mindset, ready to embrace the educational opportunities that await at St. Mary OCS.
