Opportunity Charter School Uniform Policy

Opportunity Charter School is a uniform school. OCS believes uniforms create a safe and respectful learning environment. Wearing their uniforms with pride helps students represent OCS and our community values while focusing on learning and growth.

Uniforms can be purchased through the website linked below. Plain white, gray, or burgundy polo shirts with a collar can also be bought from any retailer. OCS-logo iron-on patches are available from the main office, in person or virtually. Middle and high school students have different uniform requirements, please review the guidelines for your child’s school level.

Gym Uniforms

Gym uniforms are not required for physical education classes and students may choose to remain in their OCS uniform. Gym uniforms may be worn all day only on days when students have PE class. The PE uniform must have an OCS embroidered logo on both the shirt and pants. Students wearing gym uniforms on days they do not have PE will be considered out of uniform.​

Dress Down Days

Through-out the school year, students are permitted to "dress-down" on designated days. These dates will be posted on our Events Calendar and families will receive advanced communications of upcoming dress-down days.  If your child informs you there is a dress-down day and you have not received written notice or see it listed on our events calendar, please clarify with a school staff member. 

Uniform Policy Guidelines
Following the uniform guidelines helps maintain a safe and respectful school environment. Families may be contacted if a student is out of uniform to bring appropriate attire for the day. Students who are not in uniform during the school day may lose eligibility to participate in school-related enrichment activities.  For more details, please see the Student Discipline policy below.
