Santa Maria School's uniform is a symbol of unity within our school community. The school uniform is required for all students in K - 8th Grade. Uniforms are optional for students in the UPK program (3K and PK for All). Students are expected to be in full uniform when they enter the school building at the beginning of the day and when they leave the school building at dismissal. Students are encouraged to remember that by wearing their uniform they are representing themselves and their school community. School uniforms are purchased from The Uniform Shop at Kids Place in Parkchester.
