At Hillside Program we instill a sense of order through our dress code. By enforcing a dress code for all who attend or assist at our program, we bear witness to the virtue of modesty, and promote a sense of unity. The use of a dress code is a wonderful part of our Catholic identity, prevents distractions, and helps ease competition during our time together. It serves to remind the children of the importance of their role, and creates a more professional environment to help facilitate learning.
