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.
