St. Margaret of Scotland School is a Catholic Elementary School that 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. This dress code was developed:
- To promote a Christian atmosphere,
- To free children for academic concentration,
- To de-emphasize competition among children regarding clothing,
- To allow more economical dress for school,
- To provide some choice to accommodate individual differences.
The dress code is required of all students in grades first through eighth. This policy is intended to maintain a standard dress that is neat, economical, modest and attractive. There is no uniform code for students in pre-School and Kindergarten. Students may wear casual, neat clothing.
