Askew Dress Code

Askew Elementary encourages students to wear the Askew Uniform. The Askew uniform is comprised of combinations of red, white, navy blue and khaki.

Tops

Tops should be solid in color (red, white, or navy blue) with no logos larger than 1 inch.  Shirts with the Askew logo, Askew spirit shirts and Askew club shirts are also allowed. Tops that should not be worn include: Halter tops, tank-tops, shirts that show bare midriffs, T-shirts with inappropriate slogans, clothing made from sheer materials, shirts that are torn, shirts that are sleeveless or have spaghetti straps.  

Bottoms

Bottoms should be solid in color (red, white, navy blue, khaki and blue jeans) and include pants, shorts, jeans, jumpers, dresses, skirts, and culottes and should be no shorter than 2 inches above the knee, while standing. Girls wearing jumpers, dresses or skirts must wear shorts underneath. Bottoms should not be worn if they are shorter than 2 inches above the knee, are torn, have writing, logos, slogans or embroidery on the backside or the legs, if they show underwear, or are loose fitting and "sagging". Boys should wear a belt if the bottoms are loose to keep them at appropriate waist level.

Shoes and other items

Children attend recess daily as well as P.E. on their ancillary day. Traveling around our campus involves walking outside on sidewalks, so for the child's safety we encourage you to put them in rubber soled shoes daily. Athletic (tennis) style shoes are recommended. If your child chooses to wear sandals, they should be sturdy enough for outdoor play and must strap around the back of the ankle. Flip flops, platform shoes, shoes that 'turn into' roller skates, and "slip-on" shoes with no back are not safe for school wear and are not allowed. Girls wearing skirts, dresses or jumpers should always wear shorts under these items. Make-up is not appropriate and will not be allowed at school.
