Our goal is to have all students at Jenny Lind to be in uniform starting the first day of school.

***EXCEPTION:  PICTURE DAYS***

  1. Color: Bottoms are khaki (tan). Tops are solid navy blue.
  2. Tops: Solid color shirts WITH COLLAR, sweaters or sweatshirts WITHOUT HOODS that are navy.  SHIRTS MUST BE TUCKED INTO PANTS. 
  3. Bottoms: pants/skirts/Capri’s/ shorts.  No jeans or sweatpants of any type.  Pants are to be worn at the waist and a belt must be worn in pant loops. Shorts and skirt lengths should be no shorter than mid thigh.
  4. Any neat, clean street shoe is acceptable (preferably with out black soles as they leave marks on the floor).  Absolutely no shoes with wheels. 
  5. Uniforms must fit appropriately and no larger than two sizes - for example, no sagging pants/ no baggy shirts.
  6. In general, clothing accessories (shoes, belts, jewelry, etc.) worn by any Jenny Lind student that is deemed by administration to be dangerous, offensive, or implying gang relationship is not allowed. 
  7. The religious beliefs and practices of students are protected under the guidelines of the Student Dress Standard. Students may wear uniform with religious garb. Wearing of religious garb is acceptable.

II.                Accountability for wearing uniforms is as follows:

a.      All parents will sign an agreement to have their child wear uniforms.

b.     Students not in uniform will be issued a uniform TOP for the day.  They will return the borrowed uniform at dismissal. It will be an unexcused tardy if students have to take time from class to change clothes. Parents will be notified
