Re: Preschool in a school with uniforms-trying to figure things out.

In article <sLmdnbTz3cEsO_jVnZ2dnUVZ_uudnZ2d@xxxxxxxxxxx>, Donna Metler says...

I'm really hoping someone has some experience with this. My experience with
private schools is solely limited to Carnegie Mellon, which isn't quite the
same thing.

My DD will be in pre-K at a private school next year. The
website states that uniforms are required K-8, and the pre-
K class page mentions that pre-K children should wear
clothes they can manage easily which are "appropriate for
play"-which, to me, seems to say that uniforms aren't
required for pre-K.

However, I got her back to school packet today, which,
along with a class-specific supply list gave a uniform
***, and listed the class as "K3/4"-so now I'm wondering
if uniforms ARE required for preschoolers, but you're
supposed to pick items that your child can manage on their
own?

And, if they're not, would things like "hems on shorts and
skirts must touch the knee" apply to the preschoolers? I
don't think my DD HAS a single pair of shorts that comes
anywhere close to her knee, nor do most of her skirts.

We have parent night in August, but that's less than a week
before the start of school in the fall, and I'd like to get
shopping done before the last minute.

I'm SO confused!

Do you know someone else with kids at the school? (Even in the past.) Does the
school have a website with pictures - perchance pictures of preschoolers that
you can get an idea from?

I don't see how "manage easily" and "appropriate for play" means not a uniform.
However, if you quoted the website accurately, it seems to say no uniform needed
for pre-K to me, too.
