School Uniform and Online Shopping at McCarthy Uniforms

Posted On Thursday May 14, 2020

Dear Parents/Guardians, 

As we navigate the COVID-19 crisis together, I wanted to update you that we have been in contact with our school uniform provider, McCarthy Uniforms, to ensure the experience of buying a school uniform for the back-to-school 2020 season is safe and easy. 

At this time, the school administration is asking that all families, especially families of incoming grade nines, register with McCarthy Uniforms at www.mccarthyuniforms.ca and prepare to shop for school uniforms on-line. 

Registration will provide you with:

  • access to updated information on where and how to shop over the summer months
  • access to flexible payment options, sales, curbside pick up options
  • access to on-line appointment booking portal for limited in-person fittings, when social
  • distancing measures ease and
  • uniform fit and instructional videos. 

Please also note that until social distancing guidelines are formally relaxed, McCarthy Uniforms retail locations are not open to the public. That doesn’t mean you can’t shop for your uniform. Our school custom e-store is open 24/7 and a McCarthy’s call center is fully staffed for both customer support and shopping. By registering on-line, you will obtain a notification when stores are open for appointments and walk-in service. 

I know you will understand that we are all working through this challenging time together.  We are all adjusting to new ways of learning and shopping. Please remember that our partner McCarthy Uniforms has a priority responsibility to keep our community safe and has been working tireless to ensure that alternate shopping options are available. They have generously augmented their digital shopping options, invested in additional call center and support resources and have been proactive to ensure that school uniform inventory supply chains are strong and ready for back to school 2020. 

Sincerely,

 

Ms. K. Denomme
Principal,
