When in doubt about any dress code or grooming procedure, it is BEST to opt OUT of allowing your child to attend school with the questionable item or grooming procedure in place. Our Lady of Fatima is a Catholic School and our goal is to maintain a structured, uniformed, well-groomed student body. The final authority for the dress code, personal grooming, and any violations is at the discretion of the Principal.
