St. Michael students wear uniforms in grades PK-8. In a society where there is so much emphasis on external appearances and material possessions, it behooves us as parents and educators to help our children grow in the ability to see through and beyond these concerns to more important values. In an effort to teach our children that it is not the clothing nor the possessions that make each person special, St. Michael Catholic School requires all students to wear the uniform prescribed for their grade level. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to see that students conform to the uniform regulations. Failure to cooperate with the school in this area would perhaps indicate a philosophical difference with the school that should be explored. Students in violation of uniform regulations will be issued a School Uniform Violation. Further consequences may also be given. Please refer to Disciplinary Guidelines Chart, Section III.
All uniform items, except the P.E. uniforms for Grades 6-8, are available through Mills Uniforms (formerly Sue Mills Uniform Company). Uniform order forms are distributed each spring and are available in the school office throughout the year. All clothing should be clearly marked on the inside with the student’s name.
** Please note that uniforms are only available at the Katy Freeway location of Mills Uniforms, 9331-B Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77024.
