It is a decision of the Board of Education that all
students will abide by the St. Francis of Assisi Dress Code. Parents are
expected to help the school enforce the dress code policy by checking
their children's attire each morning. All students must come to school
in dress code - changing at school in the mornings will not be allowed.
Spirit wear is apparel that represents St. Francis School, however it is not
to be considered as part of the dress code. Spirit wear is worn on designated
days such as special jean days, or spirit wear days. Please
