SVF Uniform Guidelines
At SVF, our school uniforms uphold a proud tradition of excellence while allowing for some individual choice. Our uniform policy applies to all students in grades JK-8, fostering unity and connection to past and present generations.
Mass Days (Wednesdays): To honor this tradition, students should dress their best. Hoodies and large-logo sweats are not permitted; cardigans and small-crested SVF logo items are preferred. Dress-down passes cannot be used on Mass days.
