Merritt Trace Elementary
Uniform Policy
All students at Trace are REQUIRED to wear the approved school uniform. The policy below has been developed collaboratively to ensure the safety of all Trace students. Only combinations from the approved list are acceptable. We encourage all students to dress appropriately for class. Our classroom teachers will send students not in uniform to the office for a change of clothes or to call home should we not have the correct size for the student.
Please note that it is essential that students wear closed-toe shoes with closed back to allow for fast movement and avoid injuries. If you should need assistance obtaining uniforms, please contact the school office and we can help you with this.
