Dress Code

  • TDSO has a dress code designed to demonstrate respect for the academic and religious environment of the school. 
  • Boys in SK: Should be comfortably dressed for the school day. Jeans and sleeveless tops should not be worn. Tzitzis and kippah should be worn at all times.
  • Girls in SK: Are expected to be neatly dressed in dresses, skirts, or jumpers. Sleeveless tops should not be worn.
  • Girls in Grades 1 – 8: Are expected to be neatly dressed in dresses, skirts or jumpers which do not hug the body, hemlines which easily cover the knees when sitting and sleeves which come to the elbow. Clothes should not display any words, slogans or pictures, other than a small manufacturer’s logo or name. Head gear, caps or hoodies may not be worn inside the school building, but are permitted to be worn outside at recess.
  • Girls in Grade 4 and up should wear socks, knee highs or tights. Leggings may only be worn together with socks. Tights and leggings must be navy blue or black.
  • Boys in Grade 1 – 8: Are expected to be neatly dressed. All shirts, including t-shirts in warm weather, must have a collar and buttons. Please ensure that the shirt does not display any words, slogans or pictures, other than a small manufacturer’s logo or name. In cold weather, turtleneck shirts may be worn. Jeans are not permitted. Tzitzis and kippah should be worn at all times. Head gear, caps or hoodies may not be worn in the building, but will be permitted outside at recess.  
  • Boys in Junior K - Grade 3 may wear shorts in warmer weather.
  • Gym shoes are required for grades 1-8 for gym class, though they can be the same shoes as those that are worn in class. 
  • Please label all of your child(ren)’s coats, boots, mittens, lunch bags, thermos, water bottles, backpacks, etc. These items seem to end up in the “Lost & Found” quite often and usually remain unclaimed.
  • Any item left in the “Lost & Found” for more than thirty (30) days will be deemed to be school property and may be disposed of at the school’s discretion.
  • All children must have footwear (sneakers, runners, closed-toed shoes) on at all times. During the winter, please send a pair of shoes that can remain at school, as boots are for out-door use only.
