Dear Families,
Austin Prep will once again be partnering with Lands’ End to provide Austin Prep’s student uniform. The Uniform Policy for the 2020-2021 school year remains unchanged. A new school tie was selected and will be the only tie available for purchase on the Lands’ End site. Students are permitted to wear the previous year’s tie (green/navy striped tie) for the 2020-2021 school year. All your uniform needs can be found on the Austin Prep page of the Lands’ End site HERE.
As a reminder, below are some points of emphasis regarding the school uniform. For your convenience, I have also attached a link to the school uniform requirements HERE.
● Uniform Logo: The logos on all uniform tops will be the AP shield. Uniform approved attire (white oxford only, black, green, white polo) with the original school logo is permitted for the 2020-2021 school year. ● School Tie(s): Green tie with the white AP shield logos. The green and navy striped tie from the ‘18-’19 and ‘19-’20 school year is also approved to be worn for the 2020-2021 school year. These are the only two ties approved to be worn during the academic day. ● Oxford Shirts: White dress shirts, which are part of the winter dress (Upper School) and chapel dress uniform (Middle and Upper School), is the only shirt color that is approved for uniforms. ● Pullovers: Only green, gray, or black ¼ zips with an Austin Prep logo will be allowed during the academic day. No sweatshirts (hooded or crew) or full zip jackets of any kind are part of the academic day dress. ● Uniform Shoes: Sperry model for boys shoes (Sperry Authentic Boat shoe) and Sperry model for girls shoes (Sperry Koifish or Songfish or Original) will remain the required shoe for the 2020-2021 school year. These are part of the uniform and are the only acceptable footwear students may wear. ● Sneakers: Please see information related to the 2020-2021 school approved sneaker listed below.
Lastly, Land's End will also have various promotional deals throughout the summer months so I encourage you to sign up to receive Lands’ End promotions if you have not already done so.
