Parents and staff at Colvin Elementary believe that students should dress in a manner and style that promotes a positive, safe school climate and enhances self-image for students. Standardized dress has been known to promote a positive effect on students, but only if everyone adheres to the policy.
Colvin’s standardized dress colors will be
navy blue, hunter green and white. Any emblems or logos (except for the Colvin logo) should not be visible on standardized dress pieces. No denim or sweatpants are allowed. Colvin t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts are allowed any day. We will also include a Think College day where students and staff are encouraged to wear shirts representing their favorite colleges.
All items should be comfortably sized to fit the students. Oversized and/or baggy clothes are not permitted.
