FAQs

School uniforms ensure that all students wear the same clothing regardless of their background, socio-economic status or fashion preferences. This promotes equality and reduces the pressure of competing in terms of fashion among students. It also helps establish a sense of discipline across the school.

All students should arrive to school in their school uniforms.

Students are required to wear:

Dark Blue, Khaki or Blue Jean bottoms (pants, skirts, jumpers, dresses, overalls or shorts)

Solid White, Light Blue, Navy, Red, Black or Gray tops (Polo, T-Shirt, or Tops)

Any Parkwood Apparel

Shoes must have heel straps, no flip flops or crocs.

If a student is dropped off without appropriate uniform clothes, the parents will be contacted to bring them a proper uniform.

Uniforms are optional for Special Occasions (student birthday, classroom holiday party, dress up days and special events)

All clothing must meet the minimum requirements for DCPS standard Dress Code.
