If a uniform is not returned, or is returned in poor condition, a uniform replacement fee will be charged based on the following schedule:

$100: football, baseball, softball, basketball

A Parent Code of Conduct Agreement must be signed by the parents of every St. Mark athlete and returned to the Athletic Director.
