This month the upper school clarified its dress code to avoid confusion about appropriate attire. All freshmen and sophomores must have on collared shirts with a school logo. Juniors and seniors may also wear white, navy, Oxford blue, or grey collared shirts, but denim shirts are not allowed. As always, khaki-colored pants or skirts are required, with no rips. Please note that green and olive pants are not in code. Students in the upper school may wear solid navy or grey sweaters, fleeces, hoodies, or sweatshirts, but they may not contain logos or writing on them. All Washington Latin sweatshirts are fine as are Latin athletic jackets, but students must still wear collared shirts underneath. Students must wear closed-heal shoes, and sports sandals are not in code. Students may wear leggings or tights under skirts, but they should be in a solid color. We know that staying in uniform helps students stay focused and not get distracted. It also helps us build school pride and identity.
