*It would be impossible to anticipate all problems which may arise in the future, yet each year a few distracting "fads" and circumstances show up on our school ground. Anything that distracts the spirit, education, philosophy or dignity of Maltrait Memorial Catholic School will be held unacceptable even though not explicitly set forth in any policies. The Principal makes the final decision as to what is acceptable. If questions should arise about the appropriateness or acceptability of any style or item, please contact the Principal where final decisions are made.
