15 A Few Details All students are required to have a Dress Uniform. Dress Uniforms may be worn on any school day. K-6 girls are required to wear bike shorts under their skirts or jumpers unless they are wearing tights or leggings girls are required to wear a camisole or undershirt under their white blouses. In very cold weather, K-6 girls may wear sweatpants with no ankle elastic for recess. Spirit wear, including hoodies, may only be worn for recess or after school hours, not in the classroom. Approved February 11, 2014

16 A note about skirt length 4-6 skirt length requirement is at the knee or longer When the student is standing, the skirt hem must touch some part of the knee cap. This is a bit shorter than the upper school requirement, allowing fast-growing girls to get more wear out of their uniforms. This applies to any grandfathered skirt or K-3 jumper skirts length requirement is at or below the bottom of the knee cap When the student is standing, if you can see the knee cap, the skirt is too short. This applies to any grandfathered skirt. Approved February 11, 2014

17 A Note About Girls Boots Boots are part of the uniform policy to provide warmth for girls in skirts. Please choose boots that are: Flat Plain Black Dress Medium to tall in height UGG-style plain black boots are OK Please avoid boots that could be described as: Ankle boots Rain boots Duck boots Cowboy boots Combat style boots Snow boots Boots with laces Approved February 11, 2014

18 A note about Lands End Dress Shirts The following note will be placed on the Lands End ordering website for Providence: Beginning next year ( school year) the Lands' End pin-point no-iron oxford for boys and men is the shirt included in the uniform policy. Please note that if you purchase this shirt, it will require ironing. Though crisp and comfortable once pressed, it is not a truly "no-iron" shirt. Because of this issue, until the school year, any vendor that provides a white, long sleeve, button down oxford shirt is allowed. Approved February 11, 2014
