Uniform FAQ
Q: When are orders due?
A: Orders can be submitted to the school at anytime and if the item is in the school's inventory, it will be delivered right away. If the item is not available, it will be ordered with the NEXT bulk order - September, November, March, June.
Q: How long does it take for an order to come in?
A: As a wholesale customer, items can take approximately 6 weeks to arrive. Remember, McCarthy's has to customize all our pieces by putting our school logo or crest on all the shirts, sweaters and vests.
Q: What if I order something in June and then my son or daughter grows over the summer?
A: All unworn items may be exchanged through the school. In addition, McCarthy’s has recently changed to “unfinished” pant lengths which should help alleviate the concern.
Q: What if we register our child late, or mid-year?
A: The school will be ordering a variety of extra items for purchase by newly registered families.
Q: What if we find we need more items in September?
A: The school will have a few extra items on hand that will be available for purchase once school starts, and after all new students have purchased what they need. In addition, in October, December and March, you will have other opportunities to order.
Q: Why is a fitting appointment necessary?
A: We want to ensure that we get the orders right. As you know, different clothing companies have slightly different sizing. We highly recommend coming in for a fitting. However, there are also sizing charts available on McCarthy’s website. http://www.rjmccarthy.com/Estore/SizeCharts.aspx
Q: I heard that I can order customized iron-on name labels for my child's clothing, so that he can easily identify what is his. How do I buy them?
A: Redeemer has a new fundraiser. If you purchase customized name labels from Lovable Labels, 20% of the total of your order will go back to Redeemer Christian High School. This is an effortless fundraiser that has no end date. We will just keep providing this service as long as Redeemer parents want labels for their kid's clothing! Click here if you want to see a poster about this fundraiser that contains information on how to contact Lovable Labels and how to order your custom labels.
Q: What does it mean that we are a wholesale customer of McCarthy’s?
A: Being a wholesale customer allows you to buy clothing for approximately half price. However, it also means that all orders must come through the school and the school is responsible to organize fittings, orders, distribution, etc. This means Redeemer parents cannot place an order for Redeemer clothing directly through the McCarthy web site, you must place orders through the school.
Q: How can I help?
A: It will be busy at different times of year (i.e. when an order is being put together, when new students need fittings, when an order comes in and needs to be sorted.) Please contct Mrs. Gandhi ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if you would be willing to help out. Your volunteer hours will count toward the RCHS Volunteer Service Points Program.
Q: Who is co-ordinating the uniform order?
A: Redeemer teacher Mrs. Gandhi ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) has taken on the responsibility for student fittings, and putting our final orders together. If you have any further questions or concerns, please address them to her, and not to Mrs. Joustra in the office. Thank you!
