Elementary Uniforms Elementary students are required to wear uniforms in the classroom. The purpose of the uniform is to present a neat, well-groomed appearance, prevent fashion distraction, and lays a foundation for appropriate attire choices in future environments. We expect parents to comply with this policy. Classroom uniforms should be purchased at Land’s End. Please go to www.landsend.com/school and enter the school ID# 9000-7368-5 to see the MSM approved uniform choices. Girl’s Uniform ● Shirt - A shirt or blouse in white, light blue or navy blue.

Classroom Shoes All elementary students must have a pair of shoes that are for indoor use only, which will be stored in the child’s locker/cubby. Outdoor shoes may not be worn in the classroom as mud and other debris are often embedded in the soles of the shoes. When dry, the debris is deposited onto the floors and carpets. Acceptable indoor shoes are traditional shoes, such as oxfords and loafers, and Mary Janes for girls. No ballet shoes, athletic shoes, sneakers, boots, crocs, or shoes with lights or wheels are permitted for indoor use. Outdoor shoes are to be worn to school and the child will change shoes in the locker room upon arrival Physical Education Uniform Elementary students are required to wear a uniform for Physical Education (PE) to provide the flexibility and comfort that is necessary for athletic activities. They may be worn in the classroom on PE days only. They should also be purchased at Land’s End. Physical Education Uniform (Boys and Girls) ♦ Navy blue or white short-sleeved shirt ♦ Navy blue athletic shorts ♦ Navy blue or white sweatshirt ♦ Navy blue sweatpants ♦ White socks ♦ Athletic shoes (no light up shoes!) Physical Education Shoes All elementary students must have a pair of athletic shoes that is appropriate for PE. The shoes must provide adequate support and flexibility. If your child wears an adult-size shoe, running shoes and cross-training shoes are the most appropriate. If your child wears a children’s-size shoe, basic sneakers are appropriate (manufacturers of athletic shoes generally do not produce children’s shoes with the distinct function of adult shoes). Soccer shoes, high-top sneakers, boots, sandals, oxfords, loafers, and Mary Janes are unacceptable for PE. Children may wear the same shoes for outdoor and PE. .
