Dress Code & Uniform
Fr. Holland Catholic School believes that students and parents/guardians assume the prime responsibility for adhering to the uniform policy. Christian modesty, safety, self-respect, and consideration for others are the premises on which this policy is based. In the event that the uniform is not available to wear on a particular day, a note must be sent in explaining the situation. The final judgment on the appropriateness of a student’s attire belongs to the principal.
