Uniform

Students at St. Thomas More Cathedral School in grades K-8 are required to wear a daily uniform. The dress code provides a standard for our students, which fosters an environment conducive to learning and respectful behavior. Final decisions regarding the school uniform rest with the Principal. 

  • Students in Pre-K do not wear a uniform. Please choose comfortable play clothes and closed toe shoes for your child to run, play, and climb during their school day.
 
  • Kindergarten students wear a red polo shirt and navy bottoms, as specified in the handbook. Apparel can be purchased at any retailer. Popular choices include French Toast, Land's End, Target and Children's Place.
 

Uniform items can be purchased from either of these two retailers:

  • Flynn O’Hara - Fair City Mall, 9650 Main St, Fairfax, VA   Phone: (703) 278-8801
  • Robcyn's - Bradlee Center, 3660 King Street, Alexandria Phone: (703) 379-7800

The Fall/Spring to Winter Uniform change date is November 7. The Winter to Fall/Spring Uniform change date is March 20. Uniform change dates may be modified by the Principal in accordance with seasonal weather. 

 

P.E. Uniform

Students have P.E. once a week; children in grades 1-8 are required to wear a P.E. uniform on those days. Students wear it the entire day rather than changing for class. The P.E. uniform items must be purchased online from Lands End by using the school code: 900077975 or searching for St. Thomas More Cathedral School in Arlington, VA. 

* Pre-K and Kindergarten students are not required to wear P.E. uniforms.

* Don’t wait until late August to order because shipping typically takes 3-4 weeks. 

 

Used Uniform Sale

In late August, and at different points during the school year, a used uniform sale is held in the school cafeteria. This is a great opportunity to purchase pieces that your child(ren) might need as they enter a new season or have outgrown their current clothes. 

* Kindergarten uniforms are not collected and, therefore, not sold at Used Uniform Sales.
