ST. PETER SCHOOL DRESS CODE
Quincy Catholic Schools Dress Code Policy
The Quincy Catholic Schools strive to create an
atmosphere conducive to learning, appropriate behavior, neatness, orderliness,
and good morals and values. The way one dresses is a direct reflection on the
individual student and the school itself. Students are expected to dress
neatly, modestly, and appropriately for school. At any time, the principal has
the discretion to decide if an item of clothing or a child’s personal appearance
abides by the letter or spirit of the dress code and will take the proper steps
to remedy the situation, as needed. Full parent cooperation and
assistance in monitoring their child’s attire and compliance with this dress
code is expected.
