New School Shoe Policy for 22-23
We will no longer have an official designated shoe or required shoe vendor. The shoe requirement will be “any solid white or solid black, all leather (no cloth), low top, athletic shoe for boys and girls.”. There may be NO other colors on any part of the shoe, and the shoe must be one solid color, including the sole. Students may continue to wear the current approved shoes if they have them.
Socks should be crew type, not no-show or ankle. They can either be black or white. Socks should match for the shoe color. For instance, black or white socks can be worn with black shoes. If a student wears white tennis shoes, they should wear white socks.
We will send out another email before school starts.
