Any closed toe shoes may be worn for “outside shoes” to and from school and during outside recess.
Rain and/or snow boots should be available as well. Some families prefer to keep a pair of boots at school. NO FLIP FLOPS OR SANDALS PLEASE.
“Inside shoes” must be SOLID white, black, navy blue or brown shoes. They may be slip ons, Crocs, dress shoes, or athletic style.
No glitter or rhinestones on shoes.
Shoes must be “flats”, no heels.
If they are tie shoes, laces must also be white, black, navy blue, or brown. Please choose shoes that the child can manage independently. Logos are acceptable for shoes if they meet the dress code colors. (No large logos, should look plain)
Shoes should fit so they do not slide off easily. Flats should have a strap across the top to secure them (aka Mary Jane style).
