Lower School Code of Dress & Appearance Webb's Lower School dress code allows students to dress neatly and comfortably for the activities in which they engage during a normal school day. All students are expected to be in school uniform every day unless specific permission has been given otherwise. The school adopted a dress code primarily for two reasons. The first is to diminish the competition and peer pressure on young children regarding expensive, name-brand clothing. School is a place where children should be confident that they are accepted for who they are, not what they wear, and they deserve adult support in these areas. The second is financial, as outfitting young children can be an expensive proposition. In acknowledgment of the financial sacrifice that many parents make to send their children to Webb, we have adopted uniforms. Allowances will be made for special articles of clothing relevant to a specific religious tradition or medical necessity. Parents should contact the Head of the Lower School for clarification. All uniform shirts, pants, shorts, skirts/skorts must be purchased from the uniform vendors listed below. • Lands’ End: www.landsend.com • My Aplus Uniforms (formerly Educational Outfitters): myaplusuniforms.com • Tommy Hilfiger: www.globalschoolwear.com • Webb School Wearhouse
