Uniform Dress Code 2008-2009

Styles and colors for all uniform items must comply with those found in the Lands’ End School Uniform Catalog, which is available online and also in the Middle School office. Canterbury's school code for Lands' End is 900026386 - please use this code if you order from them.

NOTE: Uniform items may also be found in stores such as Target, Sears, Kohls, JC Penney and WalMart, although styles/sizes for items such as pants, skirts and jumpers do become picked over quickly in the actual stores.

Canterbury sweatshirts or white or navy sweaters may be worn with a white collared shirt as school dress.
• Students may be asked to wear school dress on other designated days (such as days they go on field trips or visits as well as on special occasions).
