Several elementary schools in the Tustin Unified School District will have student uniform programs for the 2011-12 school year. They are: Benson, Beswick, Estock, Guin Foss, Heideman, Hicks Canyon, Ladera, Lambert, Myford, Nelson, Peters Canyon, Red Hill, Thorman, Tustin Memorial and Veeh elementary schools. The schools serve students in grades kindergarten through fifth.

The TUSD Student Uniform Program is in its 16th year. To ensure continuity among the elementary schools, the District developed a standard uniform dress code to be followed by all schools. Guidelines are listed on the TUSD Web site at www.tustin.k12.ca.us.

The following stores carry year-round stock of uniform clothing suitable for wear at the schools: J.C. Penney’s, Kohl’s, Nordstrom, Sears and Target.

Parents may choose to shop anywhere they wish as long as the purchased clothing meets the Tustin Unified uniform guidelines.

Some schools have additional color or “spirit wear” options in their uniform program. Call your local school for more information or visit the District Web site and click on School Directory.
