VISI VITALS
Dress Code  

PRESCHOOL

Preschool students do not wear school uniforms. We ask that they wear comfortable play clothing and gym shoes, which work best for our activities. Shorts and pants should allow for the child to use the restroom independently.  Keep in mind we will be hard at work exploring and investigating our world, your child will get messy! Each child will need an extra set of clothes to keep at school in case of accidents or spills. The items should include a shirt, shorts or pants, underwear, and socks.  Make sure items are marked with your child’s name and placed in a plastic ziploc bag.
