DRESS
CODE

DRESS
CODE:
Our
Lady
of
Fatima
School
is
a
Catholic
elementary
school
which
maintains
the
right
to
establish
a
uniform
Dress
Code
for
its
students.
It
is
recognized
that
proper
school
attire
and
good
grooming
are
conducive
to
a
student's
educational
and
social
development.
School
attire
should
always
be
within
the
limits
of
Christian
good
taste
with
an
emphasis
on
modesty.
The
Dress
Code
has
been
established
based
on
the
following
guidelines:
1. To
promote
a
Christian
atmosphere,
2. To
free
children
for
academic
concentration,
3. To
de-‐emphasize
competition
among
children
regarding
clothing,
4. To
allow
more
economical
dress
for
school,
and
5. To
provide
some
choice
to
accommodate
individual
differences.
This
Dress
Code
is
required
of
all
students
in
all
grades;
Kindergarten
through
eighth.
This
policy
is
intended
to
maintain
a
standard
of
dress
that
is
neat,
economical,
modest
and
attractive.
School
attire
should
at
all
times
be
neat,
clean,
safe,
and
modest.
Uniform
pieces
are
available
through
SCHOOL
BELLES
(Code
#S1117).
Uniform
items
may
also
be
purchased
at
major
retailers
including
Target,
Wal-‐Mart,
Kohl’s,
Children’s
Place,
Old
Navy,
and
JC
Penney.
It
is
very
important
that
we
have
full
cooperation
concerning
the
Dress
Code.
Students
who
fail
to
comply
with
the
Dress
Code
policy
will
be
subject

appropriate
school
attire.
