School Uniforms: Buy Them Anywhere!

Although school is out for the summer we wanted to remind you that all West students wear uniforms in grades preschool thru fourth. Any sweater or sweat-shirt worn during the day must be worn over an approved collard shirt and must be solid red, white or black in color, with no writing/graphics on the sweat shirt/sweater. Hooded sweatshirts are permitted as long as it meets the above requirements. The policy for shoes will remain the same. Shoes must be closed toe, no sandals or flip flops are permitted. Only Schoolbelles PLAID is permitted!

Uniforms can be purchased anywhere!
