School Uniform Policy – PSMS 278 Tigers

About

This policy was designed in collaboration with the School Leadership Team (SLT) and our parent-teacher association. In alignment with Chancellor's Regulation A-665, we believe our uniform policy has helped our school "promote a more effective learning climate; foster school unity and pride; improve student performance; foster self-esteem; eliminate label competition; simplify dressing and minimize costs to parents; teach children appropriate dress and decorum in their “work” place; and help to improve student conduct and discipline."

We are proud to be a uniform school and have a variety of uniform options for our students. We encourage our students to wear their uniforms every day and to participate in school spirit days throughout the year. If you have any questions or need support in acquiring this uniform, please reach out to our parent coordinator. We appreciate your support in this matter.

Students are required to wear the Standard Uniform daily. (Polo and navy pants/ skirt).
On scheduled PE days, students may choose to wear the Gym Uniform instead.
Both the cardigan and crewneck sweatshirt are part of the Standard Uniform and may be worn on any school day.
Please note that the online store lists the crewneck under the Gym Uniform section due to the way the store is organized. It is not limited to PE days.
The online store organizes items into “Girls” and “Boys” sections based on the vendor’s sizing and garment-cut categories. Students and families may order items from either section based on fit, comfort, and preference.
