Back to School Info
Bishop Kelly’s dress code is intended to encourage modesty, cleanliness, neatness, and pride in one’s appearance and school community. It is our belief that students should respect each other for who they are, not for what they wear.

Mass Dress Code
All School Mass and other special occasions are designated “Mass Dress Days”. These are school days where a more formal and uniform appearance is expected of students out of respect for the special purpose of the day. Sweatshirts should not be worn. No denim pants are allowed on Mass Day, including black denim. All students must stay in Mass Dress the entire day.
You can order Mass Dress items HERE from Educational Outfitters.
Mass dress consists of the following:
- A White Oxford (button down), collared shirt (long or short sleeved) with the BK Logo Crest.
- Dress slacks, khakis, or chinos in neutral colors – black, tan, navy, or gray.
- Young women may wear Maxi or Mid-length skirts (at or past the knee) – black, tan, navy, or gray
- Shirts must be tucked in.
Optional Mass Dress items:
- Tie
- A sweater vest, cardigan, or blazer may be worn over the oxford – black or gray colored only
