SCHOOL DRESS CODE

Presentation Parish School uniform dress code is designed to be a cooperative effort among parent(s) and/or guardians(s), students, teachers, and administration. As the primary educators of their children, all parents and/or guardians need to actively monitor and supervise their children’s dress for school. The student’s dress must comply with both the written regulation and the spirit of the dress code. The following regulations will apply for the coming school year.
