In wearing the St. Bernadette School uniform, each student represents to our community the values of our Catholic school. Manner of dress can have a strong influence on classroom environment and learning.  We believe that our uniform sets a positive, calming tone.  

Neatness and cleanliness in personal attire are part of a child's education and the responsibility of  the parent and child.  A student's appearance, self-respect, and performance tend to compliment one another; therefore, reasonable care and neatness in regard to dress and appearance are required of all.

Gym uniforms are required for Grades Pre K-4 through 8 physical education classes.  The uniform is as follows: Saint Bernadette gray tee shirt, navy blue gym shorts, white socks, sneakers, and navy blue sweat pants. Gym uniform order form can be found under School Forms. Orders can be sent into school during the school year.  Periodically throughout the year families can order gym uniforms online through Sports Specialties.
