Uniform Policy
Butler Catholic School has established a uniform policy based on concern for the academic performance and behavior of the students. We ask that parents ensure that the uniform policy is adhered to by carefully supervising what the children wear to school. Should a problem arise with compliance, the principal will contact parents. The uniform for Butler Catholic consists of the following components:

Jeans and Tennies Day Pass
HOW TO EARN
Students have the opportunity to earn Jeans and Tennies Passes in several ways:
- Eat Out Nights – There is a weekly Butler Catholic Night at a designated restaurant (see your monthly calendar for dates and restaurants). Students must bring their receipt to school the next day with their name and homeroom number written on the receipt. A jeans and tennies pass will be issued to all children in the family.
- PTG Meeting Attendance – If a parent or guardian attends a PTG meeting they will be asked to sign in under their child's homeroom. A jeans and tennies pass will be issued for all children in the family.
- Special Days – Occasionally Sister will designate a day as a "Free Jeans and Tennies" Day
- Student Council – Student Council will have a Jeans and Tennies Day (sometimes called a "Dress Down Day") where the students will have to pay a dollar, which will be donated
to a charity, to be permitted to wear jeans and tennies. - Market Day – Occasionally students will be able to earn a jeans and tennies pass by participating in a special event coordinated by the volunteers who operate the Market Day Fundraiser. For example; during the pie sale – a jeans and tennies pass will be issued for every three pies that a family purchases or sells.
