School Uniforms

Links

At Citizens of the World KC we recognize that students need to come to school comfortable and ready for a day of learning.  We believe that a school uniform assists in meeting that goal for all children.  School uniforms can:​

• Eliminate family struggles in the morning around ‘what to wear,’
• Ensure children are comfortable and able to focus on learning throughout the day,
• Create a simple and cost-effective clothing option for families,
• Reduce disparities in an economically diverse community,
• Encourage children to focus on more meaningful avenues for self-expression

Below is a visual description of the uniform for Citizens of the World Kansas City.  The focus is on comfort throughout the day, options for warmer or colder weather, and ease of access/affordability for families.  Different garments can be purchased at most major retail outlets – both department stores and discount stores.  

Shirts
Yellow, White, or Kelly Green polo shirt.  Long- or short-sleeved; no logo or stitching.
