It is essential that St. Apollinaris students dress appropriately at all times. Uniform dress creates a feeling of community; identification and helps students clearly focus on their educational pursuits. Certain events at the school require the Regulation Uniform. These events will always be clearly marked on the school calendar or included in the weekly Shamrock Scoop. “Optional Uniform Additions” are not permitted on Regulation (Full Dress) Uniform days. Dennis Uniform Co. is our official school uniform supplier (415-206-0111). Some items may also be purchased at Napa Valley Emporium (253-7177) or Lands’ End (1-800-469-2222).
