Uniforms
On most school days, our Kindergarten through 8th grade students will be in uniform. On gym days, the gym uniforms will be worn all day long. On non-gym days, the regular uniform will be worn.
One or two Fridays per month are designated “Spirit Days” or “out of uniform days.” These dates will be sent out through the Howler and will be added to the school Google calendar once they have been set.
Our dress and gym uniforms can be ordered directly through Dennis Uniforms either online or in-store. The store is conveniently located at 7055 West Higgins. The hours of the store can be found on their website.
Our Parents’ Club also hosts a Uniform Closet (aka Uniform Exchange) several times per year. See below for information and upcoming dates. Mrs. Molenda can also pull specific pieces if needed throughout the year.
Pre-K students do not need to wear a uniform, although they may choose to wear a gym t-shirt and gym shorts/pants for gym day to provide for comfortable movement.
GYM UNIFORMS
Both warm weather and cold weather gym uniforms are unisex. Grey gym shirt or sweatshirt with gym logo must be worn with either the black gym shorts with gym logo or the grey school sweat pants with gym logo, which are available in various styles.
For purchase of gym uniforms, it is helpful to know that Kindergarten through 8th grade students have gym (and therefore wear their gym uniforms) 2 days per week. Which days will include gym will be announced before schools starts in the fall.

UNIFORM DRIVES
Our Parents' Club sponsors a Uniform Drive at least two times per year. Parents are encouraged to donate gently used and outgrown uniforms throughout the year. Those are then laid out for all parents to come through and choose a few pieces to take for free to help offset the cost of buying uniforms. This is a great way to keep otherwise good clothing from the landfills and also to help our families cut some costs.
