School Dress Code Information
The purpose of the dress code at Gross Catholic is to ensure the dignity of each person and to prepare our students to dress
appropriately in professional situations. We expect our students to come to school dressed for the business of learning, and
as “temples of the Holy Spirit, God dwelling within.” Based on these convictions, the following guidelines have been
established

Physical Form

Consent Form
In similar fashion, potential dangers associated with sports participation exist. Consequently, injuries are a possibility even with the best coaching, the best protective equipment, and strict observance of rules. In filling out the consent form, parents acknowledge the risk and give consent for treatment.

Permit to Participate Card
In order to receive a Permit to Participate Card, the following three documents must be on file at school.
After all paperwork is turned in for the year, each student must request a Permit to Participate card from the main office. This card is then given to the coach confirming that all paperwork is completed and current. Students are not allowed to tryout for any sport or physical activity without a card. The documents are to be turned in once per year. Permit to Participate cards are be requested for each individual sports season.
If you have any questions, please call our Activities Director, Nate Frankman, at 402-734-2000.

Follow our mascot, Freddie Cougar, on FacebookWe do not have a standard school supply list like many grade schools and middle schools do. To prepare for school, students can get the basics such as laptop, pens, paper, notebooks, and loose leaf binders. When school starts, each teacher will let the student know what they need to bring to each class during the first few days of class.
