SCHOOL UNIFORM AND DRESS CODE

The Aristotle Day School uniform policy is intended to set a standard of neat and appropriate dress for a school with high expectations where students should learn to present themselves responsibly. The uniform policy allows for easy identification, reduces fashion competition, and offers parents options within a reasonable budget. It is the responsibility of parents to send their children to school dressed in a manner that complies with the spirit and letter of the uniform policy.

A correct uniform is required for attendance in school. ‘Special’ days require students to wear the ‘special’ uniform on those days.

BOYS

• Daily Uniform: Boy students should dress daily in khaki pants/shorts (no cargo) with a school monogrammed navy polo top.

• ‘Special’ Uniform: PreK, Kindergarten. 1st and 2nd grade Boy students are required to wear blue pants and an Oxford shirt under school monogrammed vests on ‘special’ days. 

• Preschool Boys do not have a ‘Special’ Uniform.

GIRLS

• Daily Uniform: Girl students should dress daily in a navy blue school monogrammed polo dress. Tights or leggings worn under a jumper must be white or blue.

• ‘Special’ Uniform: PreK, Kindergarten. 1st and 2nd grade Girl students are required to wear the Plaid Jumper with a round collar blouse and white socks on ‘special’ days.

• Preschool girls do not have a ‘Special’ Uniform.

ALL

● Students may wear a t-shirt under their uniform polos or jumpers only if it is white or blue and has no lettering.

● Students may wear a solid colored navy blue cardigan over their uniform, or wear a solid white or navy blue shirt under their uniform if the weather is cold.

● Only solid color socks in navy or white should be worn.

● Dress Casual Shoes (with a closed toe) are to be worn on ‘special’ days.

● All students are asked to wear sturdy appropriate shoes that can be worn safely in the classroom and on the playground. Gym shoes are preferred to be worn on a daily basis. We ask strictly for shoelaces to be avoided.

● Flip flops are prohibited.

● Boots worn to/from school during inclement weather may NOT be worn during the school day. This includes Uggs or similarly styled boots.

● Any clothing/shoes students wear at school should be free of pictures or commercial advertising.
