The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board requires all
elementary school students to wear uniforms.
Uniforms are available at several area stores. The
following are the basic guidelines for dress and
grooming:
1. Acceptable garments include
navy blue uniform pants, shorts, Capri pants, skirts, skorts or jumpers that are
not more than five (5) inches above the knee. Dresses do not
fit uniform guidelines. Jeans, biking shorts, stretch pants,
sweat pants, windsuits, jogging suits, and Cargo pants are not
acceptable. (Navy corduroy pants are allowed for winter
wear.)
2. Plain burgundy shirts or
blouses that have a collar are mandated. Burgundy shirts that have the official school crest on the
upper left chest area are acceptable. T-shirts
(white/short-sleeved only) may be worn under uniform shirts/blouses. Colored
under-shirts are not to be worn under uniform shirts.
(Collared plain burgundy long-sleeved shirts, blouses or turtleneck
shirts are acceptable during the winter season to offer protection from cold
weather.)
3. Footwear must be sneakers or
Oxford style
shoes with closed toes and closed heels. Sandals, flip-flops,
Croc-style shoes, open heels, pointed-toe boots and cleats are not acceptable.
Roller skates, and/or shoes with skates, are not permitted to be worn by our
students while on our campus during the school day. All shoes
must be safe and durable for rigorous play during recess and physical
education.
4. Solid color black, brown,
navy blue or white belts must be worn with clothing that has belt
loops.
5. Shirts and blouses must be
“tucked in.”
6. Plain navy blue
or burgundy coats, jackets, sweaters, parkas, sweatshirts, etc. are permitted as
outerwear inside the building. In addition, navy blue or
burgundy official school logo jackets/windbreakers may be worn inside the
building to provide extra warmth. Burgundy or navy blue
official school logo sweatshirts may be worn inside the building if they have a
burgundy collared shirt underneath. Other colors of outer
winter garments may be worn outside the building.
7. Hair must be
neat, clean and styled so that it does not present a disruption to the
instructional climate of the school. Bangs, or hair length

colorings, styling and cuts may not create/cause classroom
disruption.

permitted.

may be worn unless prescribed by a physician. Documentation
will be required.

school. Permission from the principal, will be given for
caps/hats to be worn for documented medical and/or religious reasons or special
occasions. Hoods/winter coverings are allowed on the
playground during inclement weather but may not be worn inside the
building.
