Our School Uniforms

Dear Parents/Guardians:

P.S. #29 is a uniform school.  In March 1999, the Parent Council, School Administration and Central Office staff agreed to implement a uniform Policy for all grade levels. As you plan for summer shopping, please consider outfitting your child with a uniform to be worn for the school year.

The uniform colors are Navy Blue and Sky Blue:

Pre-Kindergarten-Grade 5 Girls                     Pre-Kindergarten-Grade 5 Boys 
Navy Blue Jumper Dress, Skirt or Skort         Navy Blue Slacks or Short
Sky Blue Blouse (short or long sleeves)        Sky Blue Shirt (short or long sleeves)
Navy Blue Sweater and Bow Tie                      Navy Blue Sweater and Tie
Navy or Black Stocking or Socks                      Navy or Black Socks
Blue or Black Shoes                                           Blue or Black Shoes

Gym Uniform Boys and Girls
Navy Blue Shorts or Sweat Pants
White Tee Shirt or P.S. #29 Logo Shirt
Sneakers (to be worn for gym only)

We believe school uniforms instill a sense of pride and uniformity within the student body.  It reduces anxiety, discomfort and in some cases, fear about being teased for not having the most trendy or expensive clothing.  It also allows students to concentrate more while learning which is the primary reason for attending school.  Therefore, for the 2008-2009 school year, P.S. #29 will strictly enforce the uniform dress code. 

Those students who do not wear uniforms will not be allowed outside during lunch, will not be able to participate in extra-curricular activities and may be subjected to other disciplinary actions.

Uniforms can be purchased at various locations throughout the city.  Gym uniforms with school logo will be available through the school.  With your continued cooperation and support we can make a difference in the lives of our children.

Your cooperation, participation and support are greatly appreciated.
