Updated
Delone Catholic joins schools across the country to celebrate Catholic Schools Week, Jan. 25-31. This is a special time for our students to celebrate their faith, show their school pride, and enjoy a few well-earned "perks" that build our community spirit. The Catholic Schools Week committee has chosen the theme In All Seasons.
We have designed this year’s schedule to be faith-centered, fun, and easy for families to manage.
The "All-Access" Participation Pass
To make things simple, we are using a single-payment model for all dress-down privileges:
- Donate | $5 donation per student to the Diocesan Mission Collection covers participation for the entire week.
- How to Pay | Please bring your $5 to your homeroom teacher on Tuesday morning.
- Uniforms | Students who do not wish to participate should report to school in their standard daily uniform.

A Quick Note on Modesty
While we want everyone to have fun with the themes, we ask that all "dress-down" clothing remain modest and appropriate for a Catholic school environment. Please avoid crop tops, tank tops, or excessively short shorts.
Let’s make it a great week, Squires!
