This school uniform policy applies to all Elementary and Middle School students at Hudson Country Montessori School in both our Danbury, CT and New Rochelle, NY campuses. By keeping clothing simple, comfortable, and consistent, we help students focus more on learning and friendships, reduce distractions and social pressure around “what to wear,” and support a calm, purposeful environment where every child can feel ready for the day.
Clothing should be practical so students can move freely and sit comfortably on the floor. Clothing is expected to cover the torso, the midriff, and all undergarments. Appropriate clothing can be found at Lands' End or Target online under “School Uniforms”.
Footwear must be worn at all times on school grounds and must allow the wearer to move quickly without losing the shoe or injuring themselves.
Please Note: Danbury and New Rochelle have different uniform policies. Location specifics are listed below.
- Physical education uniform will be worn to school on physical education days.
- Please label all clothes.
- Lockers must be able to hold shoes, jackets, and a backpack. All belongings must be stored in a locker. No large backpacks or backpacks with wheels.
