Holy Family Catholic Policy Updated June 2020

The goal of the dress code is to have a common standard for attire that will limit distractions from the educational process, be workable and affordable for parents, and be easily implemented at school. “Uniform” implies children will be dressed alike. The Uniform Policy of Holy Family Catholic School is designed to develop school identity and pride, create unity among our students, and to maintain a non- competitive dress environment. Parents are expected to maintain the integrity of the Uniform Policy by ensuring that their child is dressed accordingly.
