Student dress and personal appearance are important to school conduct and self pride.  Our school uniform dress has been designed by and approved through community vote to enhance the learning environment of our students. 

Westwood parents, teachers, and school officials believe the following dress code is in the best interest of our students for the following reasons:

• To enhance a positive climate for learning.
• To eliminate peer pressure dealing with student attire.
• To instill school unity and pride.
• To promote affordable dress.

The school uniform dress code for students in kindergarten through fifth grade shall be as follows:

Tops

• Navy blue, white, khaki in color
• Solid colors
• Short sleeve or long sleeve
• Westwood Spirit shirts

Pants, shorts, skirts, jumpers

• Navy, white or khaki in color

Not Acceptable At All

• Hats, caps, bandannas
• Flip flops, platform/high heels, or skate shoes
• No sagging pants

A uniform assistance application is available through the school if support is needed and uniforms cannot be purchased.  Under no circumstances will a child’s opportunity to attend Westwood be taken away because of not wearing a uniform.  However, if your student comes to school out of uniform, a phone call home will be made to ask that a uniform be brought to school. If a student continues to not wear the uniform, our Counselor will reach out to assist the family in obtaining the appropriate uniform clothing. 

Clean, neat, and appropriate grooming is expected at all times.  FINAL DECISION ON SUITABILITY IS RESERVED FOR THE PRINCIPAL.
