UNIFORMS

As you prepare for a new school year, please note that our uniform suppliers require orders to be placed by July 15th in order to guarantee delivery by the first day of school. Items like kilts and blazers can take quite a while so plan ahead!
Please review the Uniform Guide before purchasing.

As a reminder, kilts must touch the knee. If your daughter’s kilts do not touch her knee, she needs to have the hem let down or purchase the XL (22”) length. Our local uniform supplier, Educational Outfitters, is happy to help you get the correct fit!

Gently used uniform items are available for purchase from our Uniform Closet. Please see our Donation & Consignment policies for information about what types of items are accepted and how the donation/consignment process works.
