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 7:55 AM through 2:35 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 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 any 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.
