The Seton Handbook, Purpose, and Mission:
Our young people cannot announce the Good News unless they have heard it. They need to hear it in their homes and in. They need to hear it in their homes and int heir schools. In His infinite mercy, God has chosen Seton School to be one instrument by which young people can hear the truth. All of us at Seton would be the first to admit that we are weak instruments indeed, but we take consolation in St. Paul’s words, “God uses the weak things of this world to put to shame the strong.” The good that Seton does is done by the grace of God, and through God’s generosity this good will spread far beyond the walls of Seton…. Please remember Seton’s educational apostolate in your prayers, for without Him we can do nothing.
Discipline produces self-discipline; self-discipline cultivates confidence, strength, and success in all aspects of life, including work, school, athletics, relationships and most importantly, faith. For children and young adults especially, it gives them the power and inner strength needed to overcome many of life’s major challenges. A fair and solid Disciplinary System, coupled with thorough and consistent enforcement of it, lays the foundation for developing self-discipline throughout the student body, and fosters Seton’s mission to create a focused and productive Catholic learning environment.
Dress Code Philosophy
Students show respect for their school and themselves by taking pride in their appearance. A dress code reflects the values of the institution that establishes the code. As long as a student is enrolled at Seton School, he/she should represent and reflect the image of the school.
- In the formation of mature, educated, Christian adults, students must possess personal discipline and modesty.
- The sacrifice and effort required to adhere to a uniform dress code policy on a daily basis is an outward expression of the discipline necessary for academic success and spiritual growth.
- In an effort to boost school pride, the dress code allows students to be identified as members of the Seton community while on campus as well as when traveling to and from school.
- A dress code focuses on equality and a sense of belonging and thus helps to eliminate competition to “out-dress” other students.
- Seton has four dress codes (Uniform, Out-of-Uniform Day, Activities, and Casual Dress) that are outlined in the following pages.
- Final decisions about student dress reside with the director and faculty.
- Adapted from Pope St. John Paul the Great
