Back to School

Updated November 2022

Zarrow is a school of choice, and the uniform requirement is a clear expectation for all students enrolled at Zarrow. Uniforms are required for all Zarrow students every school day and the uniform policy will be closely monitored.

All students are expected to follow the Zarrow uniform code. Should a student arrive at school out of uniform, these procedures will be followed:

• The student will be reminded (in private) of the dress code and the parent/guardian will be made aware of what must be corrected.
• In the event uniform infractions become a pattern, a parent conference will be required.

Please read the following official guidelines for school uniforms carefully.

If you would like to see an example of the appropriate attire/colors, please check with the office staff.

• All shoes must be non-marking soles, have a closed back and must be closed-toed
• Students must be able to run and exercise with their shoes

Not Allowed:

• Flip flops

• Crocs
• Sandals

These can not only pose a safety hazard for your child while at school but it poses a potential safety hazard for others as well.

Non-marking soles only, we have white tiled floors and we spend extra time cleaning the black marks that black-soled shoes leave on the floors. It takes extra cleaning time away that could be used in the classrooms and bathrooms.

• Navy blue jackets

• Navy blue or dark purple cardigans

Other outerwear worn to/from school or on the playground must remain in lockers at all other times during the school day.

Additional Uniform Guidance

Brownies, Girl Scouts, Daisies and Boy Scouts may wear uniform vests or shirts only on their designated meeting days. Approved Zarrow uniform bottoms should be worn with Brownie, Girl/Boy Scouts or Daisies uniform tops. These are not considered Zarrow uniform attire. In the event of performances or pictures, only Zarrow uniform shirts will be considered appropriate. 

Zarrow School colors must be worn during performances whether the performance is at Zarrow or another location. This would include a light blue or purple collared shirt with plain khaki pants or plain khaki skort/skirt, unless specified otherwise.

Your help and support of the uniform policy is important and appreciated! Please share this information with your child and plan to support this policy on a daily basis. Our PTA runs a monthly free uniform exchange which has a large selection of gently used approved uniform items in various sizes.

If your family needs help acquiring school uniforms due to a financial hardship or any other situation, please contact our school counselor, Sra. Lobaugh (lobaual@tulsaschools.org) so she can provide confidential assistance.

The following retail stores carry school approved uniform pieces: Old Navy, Walmart, Target, Academy Sports and C & J uniforms. You may also order uniform pieces from the Land’s End and French Toast catalogs. Land’s End can add the Zarrow logo.

You may purchase the Zarrow Logo patches through the PTA. Please contact the PTA for more information: spiritwear@zarrowpta.org.
