Van Ness Elementary School

Uniforms

Uniform Policy

Our uniform is a plain light blue or navy shirt (long or short sleeved t-shirt or polo) paired with any bottom.

Students should refrain from wearing bottoms that are see-through, that don’t fit properly at the waist and lack a belt, short shorts, or clothing that has inappropriate writing on it.

Students should wear closed-toe shoes for safety on the playground. Avoid wearing flip-flops or other strappy sandals that could cause injury.
