Uniforms
Do not wait to order your uniforms! Whether it is the daily, gym, or assembly attire, find what you need for your K-5 scholar at Ideal Uniforms.
Orders can take 10 days or more due to supply chain issues. Be sure to plan ahead!
All scholars are required to be in uniform at the beginning of school.
From time to time, we do have extra uniform pieces turned in from families. If you would like to find out more about what might be available, please contact K-5 Family Engagement Coordinator, Cherry Wiggins via email.
