  • Girl Uniforms

4th–5th Grade: Jumper, long sleeve white shirt, and navy leggings.

  • Additional Guidelines

Any sweater, cardigan, pullover, or zip-up jacket worn by students during school hours over their uniform for warmth must be solid navy blue or OIA green and may only display the OIA logo. No other branding, graphics, writing, or logos are permitted on clothing worn over the uniform during the school day.

Students must also bring clean shoes for classroom use only. Shoes must cover the toes; slides are not allowed. Outdoor shoes are not permitted in the classrooms.

If a student arrives on school campus out of uniform, they will be provided a uniform item to change into, and parents will be charged for the price of that uniform item.
