👕 Dress Code Policy 2026–2027
Updated August 2026. Approved shirts, pants, dresses, shoes and socks, plus new expectations for winter wear and grooming. Polos come in Navy Blue, Classic Red, Gold-Yellow, Light Blue, or White; pants, shorts, skorts and skirts in Black, Navy, or Khaki. Our dress code page has the whole policy typed out, along with the approved color names at French Toast and The Children’s Place.
Note for shoppers: 2026–27 is the last year red polos are approved. Red is not an approved color starting August 2027, so please do not buy red for 2027–28 or beyond.
Meet the Teacher Day — Thursday, August 13
Your child’s teacher will reach out directly to set up a one-on-one time to meet with you and your child. That meeting can happen anytime on the 13th, or on another day entirely if it works better for your family — the point is simply connecting before school starts. When you come, feel free to bring your supplies along and drop them off in the classroom.
- Drop-in windows: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
- School pictures are taken during both windows. Dress code is not required for pictures — just dress in your best. A make-up day is available in October for anyone who misses it.
- Also on hand: office staff for questions, t-shirt orders, and an information table to help you get ready for the year.
