DRESS CODE
MARIA REGINA SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY
The primary purpose of our school uniform policy is to assure that the students of Maria Regina Catholic School are in union with each other and are well groomed, neat and clean, for all school activities. The school dress code is strictly enforced. Students are expected to be in full uniform at all times, except on designated free dress days. Parents are responsible to see that their children are dressed in accordance with this code. If a pupil frequently offends the normal standard of dress, grooming, or hygiene, and has been corrected in this regard, the cooperation of parents will be sought to correct the problem. Students in violation will be sent home and/or receive a pink slip. Lack of improvement in personal appearance is grounds for dismissal of a student during the school day. The principal will make the final determination of what appearance is acceptable.
