Buy Early!

The Lands' End sales are great opportunities to buy your uniform items for the upcoming school year early. Because The Oaks begins school later than many schools across the country those who wait to purchase uniform items a week or two prior to the start of school often experience longer than usual wait times. To avoid this delay, and save some money, please consider purchasing your uniform items in July during the Lands' End sales. Typical processing times for Lands' End are 7–10 days, but in the months of August and September this processing time increases to 2–3 weeks. So, please plan ahead.

2024–25 Uniform Policy
*Please review clarifications made, prior to selling or purchasing any items.

The 2024-25 Uniform Policy is now available. The policy changes for the upcoming year are merely an effort to increase clarity & simplify purchasing for families. We ask that all families please read the 2024-25 policy.

*The 2024-25 Uniform Pictorial Handbook will be available on the Uniform Ordering Page soon.
