Parent Association Uniform Policy

The Colby School Uniform Policy

was developed to support an active education, to equalize

socioeconomic status, and to present a positive, united

image.

Preschool

As our Preschool students explore

their world they do many hands-on activities such as

painting, cooking, working with clay, running, dancing,

and playing in the sensory tubs. While preschoolers

do not have to wear The Colby School uniform daily,

they should wear comfortable clothing that will allow

them freedom of movement and no stress if accidentally

stained. Closed-toed shoes such as sneakers are required. During

the winter months students may leave a full set of

outdoor clothing in the classroom and bring house slippers

to wear in the classroom instead of their winter boots.

We also encourage preschoolers to leave a full change

of clothing in the classroom throughout the school

year and to purchase a Colby School tee-shirt to wear

during field trips. Colby tee-shirts can be purchased

at the school office.

Lower School (K-5)

All students K - 5 must wear

the standard uniform each day and the dress uniform

during field trips. Our standard uniform is either

khaki or jean bottoms with a Colby Shirt. See additional

information below.

Our uniforms can be ordered through

The Lands' End School Catalog or online

at landsend.com/school. The

Colby School Preferred Number is . We

participate in Lands' End's contribution program, which

returns to us 3% of the total purchase price for purchases

made from the School Uniform Catalog using our school

number. Purchases made from the kids' and adults' catalogs

do not qualify for the contribution program.

Please request The Colby School

logo to be applied to all tops. Lands' End will

apply our logo to any item ordered from them for

an additional $5.30 per item, including items ordered

from the kids' and adults' regular catalogs. Another
