Trinity High School Dress Code Policy
APPEARANCE AND ATTIRE
The purpose of Trinity’s Dress Code is to establish an atmosphere conducive to learning and foster pride in appearance. All students are required to dress appropriately in accordance with the dress code outlined in the Student/Parent Handbook. Dress must be neat, clean, and modest. Students must be in dress code from 7:30 AM through 2:18 PM. Students serving detention must also follow dress code rules. Dress Code requirements apply on field trips and midterm and final exam days. If students are in violation of the Dress Code, parents/guardians will be called and asked to bring appropriate clothing for the day and students may be subject to disciplinary action. Repeated infractions will result in a mandatory parent meeting and Pioneer Community Service.
Exceptions to Trinity’s Dress Code may be approved by an Administration and will be shared with the school community on specific occasions.

ALL-SCHOOL MASS DRESS CODE
The dress code for All-School Masses is more formal than the everyday dress code. This is to help students understand and respect the importance of these events to the Trinity Catholic community. The dress code for all-school Mass will be strictly enforced. Students out of the dress code will receive detention and/or Pioneer Service, and their parents/guardians will be called and asked to bring their student-appropriate clothing so they may attend Mass. If a family has difficulty providing a student with appropriate clothing for All-School Masses, they should contact the Administration in advance for assistance. Students who violate the dress code will receive detention for a first-time offense. Second and/or subsequent offenses may result in additional consequences, including Pioneer Service. The Head of Student Affairs, in accordance with this policy, reserves the right to determine if clothing or personal grooming practices are hindering effective learning and social environments at school or school-related activities.
