Parents, Staff and Roncalli Students,
Since the beginning of this school year, Roncalli Middle School has been following the 2010-2011 Dress Code. A new Uniform Dress Code was planned to start second quarter of 2011-2012. After meetings with parents, staff and students, we have decided to form a dress code committee. We would like this committee to honor the input of all stakeholders. Please contact the school principal, Karen Newton, if you would like to serve on the committee.
The 2010-11 dress code will remain in effect with the following modifications: Polo shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts or sweaters can either be solid green, white, black and do not require a Roncalli logo. T-shirts will still require a Roncalli logo.
The following is the complete dress code:
Shirts/Tops
All shirts, sweatshirts, and sweaters will satisfy the following conditions:
- All T-shirts must be imprinted with a Roncalli logo
- Polos, sweatshirts, hoodies or sweaters must be solid white, green, or black only

- No sleeveless shirts or tops allowed
- A Roncalli t-shirt or a polo shirt must be worn under all sweaters, sweatshirts or hoodies
Pants/Shorts/Skirts/Skorts/Jumpers:
- Solid Colors: Black, navy, gray, khaki/brown, white, or blue jeans (Plaid shorts are acceptable) and must be free from holes, decals, chains, or any other decorations

These other items will also be enforced in compliance with district guidelines:
