Aberdeen Catholic School System Uniform 008.1 008.1 Uniform ABERDEEN CATHOLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM UNIFORM POLICY We believe that the manner in which individuals present themselves affects how they view themselves, how they are perceived by others, and consequently, how they live out God s purpose in life. In keeping with the school mission, guiding students to acquire an appropriate definition and sense of dress is an essential part of the learning process. A uniform policy fosters a sense of equality within the student body and reflects a higher uniform standard of work to be accomplished by the students. Uniforms are required in grades K-12.
