Uniform Policy 2022-2023

Our number one job at South Lake Elementary School is to provide your child with the best positive learning experience in a safe environment. We work each day to encourage students to be successful at their job of learning. Uniforms are an important part of the school's identity: It has a positive impact on students' learning and behavior in and around the school, serves to unite students, increases student pride, and eliminates barriers so all students are treated equally.

South Lake's students area expected to participate in our school's uniform policy Monday-Thursday. We have decided to allow students to express their individual dress styles on Fridays.

The uniform is as follows:

Monday-Thursday

• Tops - solid t-shirts and/or polo shirts (if you have a logo embroidered, it needs to be on the left front chest). Shirt colors - navy or royal blue, maroon, gray, and/or white. *Class shirts, Spirit shirts, or PTO shirts may be worn on Fridays only

• Bottoms/Leggings - Students may wear pants, skirts, shorts, skorts, or jumpers. No jeans unless it's Friday. Bottom/Legging colors: navy, black, or khaki

• Shoes - Students may wear their choice of shoes; however, they must be safe and appropriate to the learning environment and aligned with BPS Student Dress Code Policy which states that shoes are safe and appropriate for recess and physical education.
