Starting with the 2023-24 school year, the Middle School shirts will be navy.
This year’s gray shirts — which were discontinued — and the cardinal red shirts may be worn for the 2023-24 school year.
Girls also will be able to wear khaki skirts, pants or shorts, as well as the navy or plaid skirts.
You may buy the navy shirts from C&J or Lands’ End, both of which will have logoed shirts in a Dry-Fit material, as well as a pique cotton. A+ Uniforms — former C&J — will have a closeout stock of gray shirts at a discounted price if you’d like to replenish your supply.
Families also may buy navy polos without logos and have them embroidered from a list of preferred vendors in the Tulsa area, or from the DutchZone. More details to come.
