The Saints Shop, the on-campus spirit wear store, is now in its new location adjacent to the new dining hall! Families can still place orders online and pick them up at the school once they are notified that it is ready. We will have dedicated times for families to shop in person before school starts - dates and times will be announced soon. Once school starts we will have a standing schedule for students to visit and make purchases.
The EB Sports store closes each Tuesday and re-opens the following day. We recommend ordering on the weekend or Monday since orders are pulled on Tuesday. If you order on Wednesday, your order will not be pulled until the following Tuesday thus adding a week to processing. Orders can take 2-3 weeks to process and complete from the store closing date! Any items that become back-ordered due to challenges with suppliers may take longer than the 3 weeks for delivery. Orders from EB Sports are delivered to the school. DRESS CODE The daily dress code is: - tops: JPII spirit wear or a gray, navy blue, light blue, white, or light yellow polo (no embroidered logo is necessary); JPII outerwear if desired
- bottoms: solid, modest navy blue or khaki:
-shorts: 5" or more inseam
-skirts (ladies only): no higher than 3 inches above the knee
-slacks, including joggers - shoes: for safety and liability purposes, students must wear closed-toe and closed-back shoes (ex: sneakers, boots, Hey Dudes, topsiders, etc.). No Crocs or slides.
Complete dress code information can be found in the handbook as well as here. We've been asked for some examples of acceptable bottoms: |

| As a Catholic school community, we orient our students & faculty to living a life rooted in the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus reminds us that discipleship rests on serving others: "When you did this to the least of my brothers, you did it to me." Jesus commands us to works of mercy--in serving others, we serve HIM! For the 2024-25 school year, all JPII students are to complete 20 hours of works of mercy by May 1, 2025. Before school starts is a perfect time to get a jump start on this! Students can earn hours in a variety of ways including at Catholic Charities on the 2nd Saturday of each month which they can sign up for here. |
