School Uniforms

Daily Uniform

Dress Code for PK3/PK4/Kindergarten  

Children in Pre-Kindergarten 3, Pre-Kindergarten 4, and Kindergarten should wear play clothes that are neat, comfortable, and easily handled independently. Outdoor clothing should be suitable each day to allow a child to spend an hour outdoors comfortably. Long pants are recommended during the winter. All clothing, particularly rain or snow boots, should be large enough for the child to get on and off easily. Parents and guardians should avoid costumes, overalls, sandals, flip-flops, dressy shoes, party dresses, or fancy clothing that might be damaged or cause tripping, and clothes the child cannot easily handle in the restroom.
