Parker School Uniforms supplies all school uniform pieces.  Uniform slacks may be purchased from an alternate vendor as specified in this dress code.  Otherwise, uniforms from other vendors are not permitted.  

 

Students are to be in full compliance with the uniform and dress code upon arrival to school.  Parents are expected to know and understand the uniform and dress code and to monitor their child’s appearance.  Failure to dress appropriately will result in a “Uniform Code Violation” form being sent home, with a section to be signed by a parent and returned to school the next day.  A second uniform violation will result in a phone call home.  If the violations continue, the child will be required to wait in the office while parents are notified to bring appropriate clothing to the school.  Repeated uniform violations will be handled in an age-appropriate manner as determined by the principal.

 

Requests for exceptions to the uniform and dress code should be directed to the principal.

VENDOR OPTIONS

 

The Uniform Committee has agreed to a less expensive short and pant option for CRBS students.

 

The ‘George’ brand of boys’ slacks and shorts, in both navy and khaki, may be purchased at Wal-Mart.  They are a quality pant made for durability and cost approximately $12.00 (less when on sale).  Be sure to purchase the ones that don’t have additional pockets or zippers on the legs and that do have belt loops.  These slacks and shorts are sold primarily during peak uniform buying season, summer through early fall.  These are the only uniform items that may be purchased from any alternate vendor; all other uniform items must be purchased from Parker School Uniforms.

 

If you have any questions as to whether you are making the correct selections, you may contact the school office or a member of the Uniform Committee.

 

Our ability to allow less costly options will continue only if parents and students honor the CRBS uniform requirements.  This policy will be reviewed annually by the Uniform Committee.
