Uniform Policy
Montgomery School believes strongly in the value of our students wearing uniforms to school for several reasons. Wearing a uniform saves time and reduces stress by eliminating the difficult decision about what to wear each day. It has also been proven that uniforms help reduce distractions so students can focus on their schoolwork, which increases their academic performance. Many of our graduates attend secondary schools with similar uniform policies; so wearing a uniform in lower and middle school gives our students the opportunity to prepare for what’s ahead.
As students enter 5th grade, the uniform changes to distinguish older students (5th-8th grades) from the younger ones (K-4th grades). Students may choose to wear a button down shirt with pants or shorts OR a polo* and plaid skort. Also, the students in grades 5-8 change into gym uniforms for PE class.
*For students in grades 5-8, the polo shirt may only be worn with the skort.
