The official MATES uniform is available through Dennis Uniforms.  The MATES uniform and dress code policy is posted on the MATES Website. The below are general FAQ’s for new families that are unfamiliar with the uniform process.

The  official uniform is a blue MATES polo top and black pants or skorts.  This uniform is required for most field trips or as requested by the school.

TOPS
On regular school days, most students prefer wearing a MATES T-shirt. They come in white, black, and blue.
TIP: Instead of driving yourself crazy trying to keep a white T-shirt looking clean, consider getting an Art@Lunch shirt. These can be worn on Tuesdays. Students can also wear Spirit Wear on Fridays including Jogathon T-shirts. These will be available for sale at the Back to School Bash and on Tuesdays in the MATES Marketplace.

BOTTOMS
Students can wear black or khaki bottoms including pants, walk shorts, skorts, and MATES basketball shorts.
