All Saints School Dress Code (Revised April, 2008) [Changes
are in red.]
The dress code of All Saints School strives to reflect good
taste, neatness, cleanliness and Christian modesty while avoiding
trends and fads. Students reflect pride in themselves and their
school by the way they dress and act. It is expected that parents/guardians,
working with the school, will require their students to leave
home dressed in accordance with these regulations. The administration
reserves the right to interpret dress code. The decisions of the
administration are final.
