Dress Code

Return to the Summer Hub

Overview
The GVS dress code balances individual choice with a degree of uniformity and consistency in student dress, ensuring that clothing does not become a focus or distraction during the school day. It offers comfort and practicality at younger ages while recognizing the need for more formal dress for older students.
  • Clothing must be neat, clean, and in good repair.
  • Hair must be kept neat, and may not be dyed a unnatural color.
  • Students may not wear makeup or have dangling or excessive jewelry.
  • Boots are permitted during the winter and in inclement weather.
  • With some announced exceptions, the last Friday of each month is a “Dress-Down Day."
     

Where to Purchase
Please refer to Green Vale’s designated section within Lands' End Uniform as a visual guide for the approved color and style options. Other colors and styles are not permissible for wear at school. Using Green Vale's preferred school number (900065780) offers the option of GVS seal embroidery and a portion of sales is automatically donated back to Green Vale. Please note that many of the approved colors and styles are available elsewhere such as Gap, Target, Tommy Hilfiger, Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren and others.

Important Note for Fall 2023
Dress Code will be enforced more strictly than in past COVID-impacted years.
Please make particular note of the following:
  • Sweaters may not feature stripes, graphics, or motifs such as tie-dye.
  • Please refer to approved colors for sweaters (no red, no green, no purple, no turquoise, etc.)
  • Skirts and jumpers not from Land's End must have similar styling.
  • Absolutely no plaid of any kind in skirts or jumpers.
  • Sweatshirts (pullover or hoodie) of any kind (including GVS PE attire) may not be worn to class in 1st-8th Grades. 
  • Leggings are not permitted without a skirt or jumper. In 4th Grade and up, pants are expected to have pockets and may not be styled as "stretch pants".
