St. Paul City School has adopted a policy requiring all students to wear uniforms. We feel that students' uniforms help maintain a respectful academic environment and stress to the pupils the importance of what goes on here at St. Paul City. Additionally, in a socio-economically diverse school the uniforms de-emphasize differences in economic levels of the children.

If you are new to uniforms, you may be surprised to find that the children don't mind them and that buying a set of uniform clothes is quite economical compared to trying to keep your child fashionably dressed. We take Pride in our students’ appearance. Moreover, uniforms help ensure the establishment of a positive learning environment.

The information below describes the uniforms for boys and girls and has information about where to buy the clothing.

What do the Students Wear?

° Dress pants, jumper, skirts, or shorts that must be either black, navy blue, or khaki in color.
° Blue jeans are not acceptable.
° Shirts are maroon with a collar. Polo and dress shirts are acceptable. T-shirts are not acceptable. Shirts must be solid maroon in
   color and only the school logo is allowed.
° Any undershirt must be white and must be tucked in.
° Sweaters or sweatshirts must be solid maroon, black, navy, grey, or khaki.

See pages 10 - 11 in our Family Handbook for more information regarding our dress code.

Where Do I Buy My Child's Uniform? In August, before the start of each school year, St. Paul City offers parents up-to-date information about how to buy their uniforms. Also, for low-income students, we do have some help available to buy uniforms. Call (651) 225-9177 and ask for MaiZai Lee for more information. Currently, uniform shirts are $5.50 each.
