Cedar Valley Catholic Schools
Kindergarten – Eighth Grade
Dress Code
The dress code is intended to name attire which students
are allowed to wear and not intended to be an exhaustive list of items that are not allowed. Such a listing would be
impossible as various clothing trends and fads arise. Parents are expected to be the prime enforcers of the dress code
by assuring their children are in compliance with the dress code upon arrival at school. The school administration will have
final discretion on what is appropriate or not for school wear.
