• What is “W” wear?
  • Any clothing purchased from the spirit wear store that has a “W” embroidered on the item. Spiritwear with athletic logos are not permitted to be worn Monday - Thursday.

 

• Can I embroider the school logo on clothing items instead of purchasing uniform items from approved vendors?
  • NO! 

 

• What if I purchased uniform items from BSN, are those items still approved?
  • YES! While we no longer sell uniform approved items through the BSN website, students are still permitted to wear the items until they no longer fit.

 

• Can I wear lower school uniform items in middle and upper school e.g. the jumpers?
  • YES! If they still fit in a modest way and the length is no more than 5” above the back of the knee.

 

• What Footwear is allowed?
  • Students may wear predominantly white, gray, black or blue athletic shoes or neutral-colored dress shoes (Dress shoes include: wallabies, Sperry’s, boat shoes, loafers, Jungle Mocs, etc.).  Tall boots are allowed when worn under pants. Shoes must be closed-toe and closed-heel. Shoes may not have lights, wheels, bells, or characters. No sandals, flip flops, crocs, or athletic slides. Rain boots may be worn on inclement weather days.

 

• What about socks?
  • Plain white, gray, black, or blue socks are required. Socks can be no-shows, ankle length, or mid-calf length. No decorations, patterns, stripes, or designs. Only small logos, no larger than 1”, are allowed. For girls, white or navy plain stockings or leggings are permitted.

 

• How should the uniform fit?
  • All clothing must be of appropriate size, fit, in good repair and must be worn modestly. Shorts, skorts and dresses should be no shorter than 5” above the knee.

 

• Are hoodies allowed to be worn inside the classroom?
  • Only on Fridays, and they must be Westminster hoodies.

 

• I still don’t understand the winter coat policy!
  • In the LS students can wear any color winter coats outside the classroom. In the MS and US winter coats must be white, navy, or royal blue from a vendor of your choice. There is an option for your convenience in the Westminster Lands End uniform store. Lightweight jackets must be from Flynn O’Hara or “W” wear from the Spirit store.  

 

• Is there a PE Uniform?
  • You do not need to purchase a special uniform for PE but modest athletic attire must be worn with sneakers (shorts and t-shirts) for middle and upper school. In the lower school students do not change for PE, so we only ask that students wear athletic shoes on PE days. 

 

• Does PK3-K have a uniform?
  • NO! But students should follow the dress code guidelines in the school handbook available in the parent-portal.

 

• What if I have more questions?
  • For all your uniform questions please contact your division leader or email uniforms@wsa.net, and you will receive a response within 24 hours on weekdays. More detailed information can be found in the school handbook available through the parent-portal on Blackbaud in the resource section. Please note the handbook is reviewed and revised annually in June.
