General Uniform Information
Beginning with the 2011-12 school year, Magen David Yeshivah has instituted a school uniform program for grades 1 through 8. The guidelines for the program are presented below.
The uniforms have been carefully selected for our students to ensure they are affordable, stylish, comfortable, and of good quality. Our choices also reflect the respectful attire suitable for a Yeshivah environment. We hope this information will clarify and make this new program as easy as possible.
The Magen David uniform program will consist of specified styles of clothing to create a cohesive image for the school. The guidelines are as follows:
A. Boys are required to wear designated white or light blue polo or button down shirts with either gray or navy pants. You may purchase any navy or gray pant excluding corduroys, jeans, sweatpants, or cargos.
B. Girls are required to wear designated white or light blue polo or button down shirts with either gray or navy designated skirts.
C. Accessories
1. Leggings and tights: Girls may wear any brand of tights or leggings as long as they are solid and of the following colors:
2. Sweaters and Blazers: Only designated sweaters and blazers may be worn in school.
3. Sweatshirts: Children may wear only designated navy sweatshirts.
4. Footwear: Closed toe shoes or boots must be worn in school at all times. Sneakers may only be worn on gym days.
Purchasing Uniforms
We have created a preferred arrangement with several school uniform specialists and retailers in order to deliver the easiest and best shopping experience for you. These retailers are familiar with our program and will be offering special promotions to our parent body from time to time. You can choose to purchase uniforms in four different ways: online, mail-order/catalog, over the phone, or in person at select retail outlets.
1. Online: We have partnered with two different online retailers, each carrying different products, that together feature our complete uniform program. When you enter their website, be sure to put in the special Magen David code which will take you to a special webpage displaying only approved MDY uniform products for easy reference and purchase.
