Dress Code/Uniform Policy/Winter Wear Policy


St. John's school, along with all Duluth Catholic schools require students to wear a standard uniform.

The encouragement of good grooming is a part of our educational policy. Our uniform policy is clearly described to assist parents in purchasing appropriate school attire. These directives include several options and give sufficient opportunities for choice.

Enforcement of the dress code is the primary responsibility of the parents. Students who come to school out of uniform will be directed by the principal to call home for a change of clothing.


  • Shirts: Plain white with collars, including turtlenecks; may be long or short-sleeved. No monograms, colored trim, or colored buttons. All shirts must be worn tucked in.
  • Pants, Skirts, Skorts, Shorts, and Jumpers: The color must be Khaki to match the color from our preferred vendor. Skirts, skorts and jumpers must be of modest length. No wide leg flare pants. No exterior sewn pockets. Short pants are permitted only during September, May and June.
  • Sweaters: Pullover, cardigan, vest, crew neck, or v-neck in red or navy blue. A white shirt or turtleneck must be worn underneath.
