Dress Code

Holy Family School enforces a dress code for both the girls and the boys in order that all of our students come appropriately attired for school; students are expected to dress in a manner that indicates that they are engaged in a serious business – EDUCATION. It is our desire that the dress code be focused on uniformity and be cost effective for the parents. Uniforms may be purchased from designated suppliers. Gently used uniforms are available from the Holy Family School uniform closet at no cost. The dress code for Holy Family School students for the school year is as follows:
