Holy Family Catholic School
Uniform Policy
Updated March 2014

                                                                   
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.
 
Land’s End and Dennis Uniforms are the source for uniform pants, shorts, skorts, skirts, jumpers, sweaters, sweatshirts, fleece vests and jackets.  White uniform shirts may be purchased from suppliers other than Land’s End/Dennis Uniforms as long as they fit the description of Land’s End/Dennis Uniforms clothing. Please utilize the uniform exchange located by the library. These items are available to you at no cost.  The Holy Family Catholic School logo is required on all uniform sweaters, sweatshirts, fleece vests and jackets.
