Students are to be in the correct and appropriate school uniform from the time they arrive on campus until they leave at the end of the day. Exceptions are allowed only for school sponsored club and athletic activities.

All students must have an Ursuline NAVY sweater required for monthly school liturgies in the Fall/Spring.
