(14,337 posts)No shorts? lol The schools that had uniforms, including Parochial/Private, had uniform khaki walking shorts with something like a collared solid color golf shirt. The girls uniform shorts were identical to the boys ones. They did have uniform skirts or jumpers for the girls, but not many wore those. Why? There was no PE uniform so the girls who wore the skirts always had to wear shorts underneath those skirts. Want to see my panties?????? Easier, and cooler, to just wear the uniform shorts. Too HOT most of the year for long pants. If you have ever seen an LL Bean catalog for kids, that is what the school shorts uniform looked like.
Staff also could wear shorts to work, but they had to be City/Walking Shorts which came just above the knee. Only Denim was not allowed. Yes, staff wore flip flops too. Personally, I passed on the flip flops since I pushed, and lift out of, kids in wheelchairs. Not fun getting your toes run over by a wheelchair, besides being very dangerous in flip flops to lift a special needs child.
