Purpose of Uniforms at Whitehead School The staff and parents of Whitehead School support a mandatory uniform policy to be followed by all Whitehead students. It is our belief that safety, modesty, simplicity, good taste, and cleanliness are important in promoting optimal learning and also in minimizing distractions.
SHIRTS
• White, blue or gray polo shirt or blouse with collar
• Long sleeve polo shirt, buttoned shirt with collar or turtleneck in white, blue or gray
• All shirts must be tucked in at all times (2nd – 5th graders)
SWEATERS/SWEATSHIRTS/TURTLENECKS
• Button or pullover sweater in naby blue, white or gray
• Whitehead sweatshirts and plain sweatshirts and sweaters in school colors may be worn any day of the week with a uniform polo or plain turtleneck in school colors worn underneath in cooler weather
PANTS/SHORTS/SKIRTS/JUMPERS
• Navy blue, gray or khaki pants, shorts, jumpers or skirts
• Shorts, skirts, and jumpers must be long enough so that fingertips reach the bottom of the garment when the student is standing
STUDENTS MAY WEAR JEANS AND SPIRIT WEAR TEE SHIRTS (no team uniform shirt or jersey) ON THE LAST DAY OF THE WEEK.
FOOTWEAR
• Choice of shoes as long as they enclose foot with no heels
• No “heelys” or skate shoes
• Choice of socks, tights, or leggings
OTHER
• The Rockford Public Schools Dress Code also applies to all students. It is found in the Elementary District Handbook every year.
Uniform brand clothing can be purchased at several Rockford retail stores including, but not limited to, Burlington Coat Factory, JC Penney, Target, and Uniform Outfitters in addition to Goodwill, Salvation Army, and garage sales or on-line at www.frenchtoast.com, www.fadedglory.com, www.sears.com, www.target.com, or other uniform websites.
We will aggressively pursue implementation of this policy. This policy will be monitored on a daily basis. Parent/guardian support is necessary so that our program can operate as efficiently as possible. Thank you for adhering to our Whitehead School Uniform Policy.
