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!

Round here (in UK) you'd often get a preschool (connected with a school)
wearing just the sweatshirt of the preschool over ordinary clothes. Often
this is not compulsory, but in some preschools most of the children will
have this.
Some preschools will have the same uniform as the school.
However, if it is like the standard uniform round in UK (ie
shirt/blouse/t-shirt with collar with shorts/trouser/skirt/pinafore and
cardy or sweatshirt with the schoo logo on) then you can pick easier or
harder uniform to dress them in. eg. pinafore with a zip rather than button
front, elasticated trousers rather than zip and button, shoes with velcro
rather than laces or buckles etc.
