UNIFORM POLICY
Uniforms must be worn daily. Our uniform policy and dress code guidelines indicate appropriate school attire for normal school days. Mater Academy Preparatory reserves the right to interpret these guidelines and/or make changes during the school year. Students are expected to follow these guidelines with support from their parents/guardians.
School Spirit Shirts will be on sale on the website through the school store throughout the school year. Please purchase at least one Spirit Shirt since they will be required for Field Trips and special events. Students may also wear their Spirit Shirts and jeans on designated “Jean Days.”
