We take pride in the appearance of our students. Proper dress reflects and affects the quality of the school, conduct and schoolwork. Students should be dressed in a clean, well-groomed and modest manner. Outside of a non-uniform day (NUD) , students are expected to be in complete uniform at all times. It is the responsibility of parents/guardians and students to ensure that the dress code is adhered to and that students arrive at school neat and in the appropriate attire.
When an occasion calls for a full uniform day, then no shorts or sneakers may be worn and gym cloths must be brought to school.
Holy Family Academy is committed to ensuring that all students follow the established dress code. Students who come to school out of uniform will be given a Uniform Notice as a reminder of the proper dress code requirement. Continued violation of the dress code will result in a Teacher/Principal conference to discuss the matter.
