Oakbrooke Elementary uniform policy

The Board of Directors of the Pulaski County Special School District has determined that the attire worn by students often distracts them from academic achievement, the primary purpose for attending school. A uniform policy was put into place for K-6 students and is as follows.

Shorts, skorts and jumpers must be of proper length
Tights in uniform colors may be worn under shorts, skorts and jumpers, but not alone as pants
