SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY
(STUDENTS)

The Uniform Policy will be implemented for Walter J. Baird Middle School and Castle Heights Upper Elementary School.

The following are the guidelines for our School Uniform Policy:

Basic Uniform/Uniforms:

  • Solid navy blue, khaki, or hunter green colored bottoms. Includes pants, skirts, knee length walking shorts, skorts, and jumpers.
  • Solid white, navy blue, or hunter green shirts.
    • No blue jeans or denim of any kind.
    • No gingkos, or pipe style will be allowed.
    • Belts will be required for clothing designed for belts.   All shirts must be tucked into pants and clothes shall be within one size of the student’s actual size. 
    • Tee shirts and pullovers shall not be worn and shirts must have a collar.  Henley shirts with buttons and tab collars are permissible.
    • Shirts, sweaters, or sweatshirts must be free of logos*, writing, or symbols.
      *Logos less than the size of a quarter will be permitted on shirts.        The logo must be of an appropriate nature.
    • School sponsored and principal approved collared shirts may be worn.

Accessories:  Only solid white, navy blue, or hunter green sweaters, sweatshirts, vests, and coats.  No striped or patterned combination of colors will be permitted.

Shoes:  Any color or style of shoes that you feel goes with the uniform may be worn to school.  We strongly suggest and urge you not to buy expensive designer dress shoes or expensive gym shoes.  We recommend that loafers, oxfords, and low cut tennis shoes without logos or trademarks be considered.  Socks should be free of logos and trademarks.

    • No flip-flops or shoes with thongs between the toes will be permitted.

Jackets/Coats:  All jackets/coats worn to school with any writing or logo must be placed in the lockers or other designated areas.   Jackets/coats with writing or logos are permitted to be worn by students anytime - approved colors only. 

The school administration reserves the right to determine whether the student’s attire/appearance is within the limits of decency and modesty; is supportive of a positive learning climate; and/or promotes a safe school environment.  The principal may allow exceptions for school wide programs or special class activities.

You do not have to buy a specific brand of uniform.  Clothes made by any company are acceptable, as long as they comply with the above requirements.

**THE ABOVE DRESS CODES APPLY TO BUS RIDERS FROM WJB AND CHUE**
