Final Note
There are many details and styles of clothing that cannot be covered in the dress code. We hope that students and parents/guardians understand not only the “letter”, but also the “spirit” of the dress code and choose clothing that is appropriate for a student attending Immaculate Conception School.
The Administration maintains the right to make the final determination concerning the appropriateness of a students’ attire.
