August 9th, 2023 - P.S. 211 School Uniform Policy Reminder to All Parents

Dear families and staff of P.S. 211 Elm Tree Elementary School,

We hope you are all enjoying your summer! 

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that, thanks to those of you that voted regarding our school uniforms, we will be implementing our school-wide mandatory school uniform policy starting September 2023.

Earlier in the school year we held a vote with all of our school's parents to see whether or not they would be interested in implementing a mandatory school uniform policy for all of our students and over 95% of our parents voted "YES"!

We strongly believe that this decision will support a safe and nurturing learning environment for all of our students here at Elm Tree Elementary School. In addition, this will allow our students to show their school pride by wearing our school colors each and every day. It also alleviates the financial pressure on parents to provide their children with the latest fashion trends.

Starting September 7th, 2023 school uniforms will be mandatory for all students and should be worn every school day. The school uniform consists of a white or dark green shirt and khaki pants while the gym uniform consists of a dark green or gray sweatshirt and sweatpants.

The uniform can be bought in any store that sells the uniform colors such as Target, Youngworld, Walmart or even Amazon. We also have an inventory of “gently” used school uniforms so please reach out to our school’s Parent Coordinator or our school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for more information.

Also, if you have any extra uniforms and would like to donate them, our school will have a donation box near the school’s main entrance. Donations will be accepted during the morning and during afternoon dismissal. Please contact Sandra or Elizabet of the PTA for more information.

Parents: we would like your help in enforcing the school uniform with our students so let’s work together as a community and help enforce the school dress code.

For more information feel free to contact Ms. Gisella Catarine, our school’s Parent Coordinator, at 929-260-0084 or contact our school’s PTA.
