I don’t think detention in private school is a thing. For serious issues, they call the parents and if the parents can’t get the child together, eventually they’ll be suspended/expelled and their enrollment contract won’t be renewed. At SR the girls get infractions for minor issues, and if they get enough of them, they may lose some sort of privileges, subject to teacher discretion.

Agree with above except detention IS a thing in some private schools, namely Gonzaga, which enforces rules with JUG (Justice Under God).

How much do the used uniforms cost? Is it better to but those than to buy it new?

If you are class of 2029 (I'm a returning parent) Your child's classes are: Introduction to Literature, World History I, Physics I, Scripture, Math, World Language, and Arts.

The math and world language placement will come out late next week.

Mater Dei through middle school and Georgetown Prep for high school. Not a ton of events together but some in high school.

Prep’s sister school is Visitation, not Stone Ridge.

I don’t think SR has a formal connection to a boys’ school. The Sacred Heart schools typically don’t.

I think Visa's brother school is Gonzaga.

This is definitely true. The closest all boys school to SR is Prep.

That’s probably traditionally true, but prep is a HS while SR is pk-12. So a lot families who have daughters at SR send their sons to Landon or Mater Dei.

And do they allow kids to print out their own copies from online and then staple it or do you need to buy the actual book? I've never been to a school where I had to buy books so I was confused.

Yes I was shocked at first too. But whatever you do don't buy the books off of the website doing that will make it crazy expensive (400+). Go onto amazon and buy the used paperback version (I did this and got a 100+ book for 15$). If you can't find it on amazon go to different site until you do. The earlier you buy the better because for some book there will only be a few in stock. Me and my family do this and we got an order that was supposed to be 461$ down to 71$.

And girls who do follow the uniform code are teased.
