Dress Code and Appearance

Where do I find the dress code and appearance policies?

The dress code and appearance policies for all grades can be found at oakwoodway.org/dresscode. Preschool through 8th grade students are expected to wear uniforms, and high school students wear free dress that is in keeping with the high school dress code.

What do I do with outgrown uniforms that are still in good condition?

Several uniform drop off and uniform exchange events are held throughout the school year. Families may contribute uniforms that are in good condition, and on the day of the exchange, all the donated uniforms are laid out on tables near the Main Office for your perusal. Please check the school calendar for uniform exchange dates.

Where do I purchase uniforms?

Uniforms may be purchased through the Land’s End website. You are not required to purchase your student’s uniform from Land’s End, but if you purchase them elsewhere, they must be as described on the Land’s End website. Land’s End uniforms can be purchased online or by phone.  

When do students have free dress?

This varies by grade level. Lower school students generally have free dress on the last Friday of the month and middle school students have free dress every Friday (see the calendar for exact dates, as there are sometimes exceptions). There are also special occasions during which students may wear special free dress. Students will receive spirit shirts in the fall, and these are also worn on specifically announced days. When wearing spirit shirts, students should follow the uniform dress code for the rest of their clothing.

What happens when an outfit does not conform to the dress code?

Division principals address dress code violations. Students will be asked to correct minor infractions, and parents may be called to bring acceptable clothing, if applicable. Middle school students with repeat violations may lose free dress privileges. Parents will be informed by email of all dress code infractions.
