Lower School Code of Dress & Appearance Webb's Lower School dress code allows students to dress neatly and comfortably for the activities that they engage in during a normal school day. A wide variety of options for uniforms is provided to accommodate some individual preferences in the dress. 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. All students are expected to be in a school uniform every day unless specific permission has been given otherwise. Any faculty member may question whether attire is acceptable and reflects the intent of the dress standard. If a student’s attire violates the dress code, the student will be warned once. If a second violation occurs, the student may not be allowed to attend class until the attire conforms to the dress code. The approved uniform vendors for the Lower School include Lands’ End, Educational Outfitters, and Tommy Hilfiger. All items, except for bike shorts, shoes, socks, belts, and outerwear, must be purchased from: • Lands’ End: www.landsend.com • A+ Uniforms: myaplusuniforms.com • Tommy Hilfiger: www.globalschoolwear.com • Webb School Bookstore 14 • WEBB LOWER SCHOOL HANDBOOK 2022-2023
