Clothing, Hats, and Shoes

Please consider activity and weather when selecting what your child will wear to school. Please dress your child in comfortable play clothes that can get messy and are suitable for outdoor play and physical activity. Students go outside every day unless it’s raining very heavily or colder than -20°C with wind chill. Please check the weather forecast each morning to make sure your child is dressed for the day.

Hats are a terrific way for students to show individuality, appreciation for sports teams, and can provide comfort and reassurance during times of stress. Hats may be worn inside the school provided they are not a distraction. Hoodies should be worn down indoors, as they can block hearing, limit peripheral vision, and prevent clear recognition of students by staff and peers.

Clothing or hats with inappropriate words or images are never appropriate.

Students are required to leave a pair of indoor shoes at school. These shoes should allow for safe and comfortable participation in all school activities. To help keep our school clean, students are expected to remove outdoor footwear upon entering the building.
