Dress Code
Our Uniform Policy is designed to reflect the dignity of the body and the modesty taught by our Catholic tradition. It enhances a sense of school pride and belonging, while encouraging discipline and eliminating unnecessary distractions. Additionally, it creates opportunities to share our mission in the wider community.
Students are expected to follow the Uniform Policy as written. Administration and teachers reserve the right to decide if a student is out of uniform or in violation of the dress code. If students are out of uniform or in violation of the dress code policy, they will be issued a conduct slip and provided a uniform from our uniform stock at the expense of the parent. If replacement options are not available, parents will be called to bring an acceptable uniform for the student.

Spirit Wear Policy
Epiphany School observes regularly scheduled “Spirit Wear Days,” typically held on the third Thursday of each month. On these days, students may wear an Epiphany spirit wear top—any t-shirt, sweatshirt, or other apparel featuring the Epiphany name or crest, including items from school sports teams, clubs, and activities—with their uniform bottoms. All other uniform policies remain in effect. Participation is optional. The 2026–2027 Spirit Wear dates are listed below.
