Dress Code - Sacred Heart School
Dress Code
It is the responsibility of Sacred Heart Catholic School to implement a reasonable
standard of dress that reflects Christian modesty and decorum. Such standard
of dress should also reinforce and support the orderly administration,
operation, and discipline of the school for the benefit of all the students
and faculty. The standard of dress established by Sacred Heart School should
encourage an environment conducive to learning and enhancing the development
of character and excellence in the lives of the students as they participate
in the educational process.
The parents of those students who are in violation of the dress code will
be called and requested to bring the appropriate uniform items. Uniforms that
are heavily worn, soiled or torn and ill-fitting uniforms are not permitted.
