Ensuring students are properly attired for a conducive learning environment, Pine Lake Preparatory has a comprehensive uniform policy for all students. This policy aims to create a safe and orderly atmosphere, effective every school day, including field trips and off-campus excursions. Advance notifications are provided should there be any adjustments to the uniform requirements for specific events. In cases where uniforms are not required, students must adhere to the school’s non-uniform guidelines.
Pine Lake Preparatory understands the financial considerations for families regarding uniform requirements. Parents or guardians in need of financial assistance for uniforms are encouraged to reach out to the school counselors for support.
For a detailed understanding, you can access the full Uniform Policy, effective from July 1, 2022, here.
To assist families in acquiring the necessary uniforms, Pine Lake Preparatory has partnered with several vendors, ensuring a range of options for both new and gently used uniforms.
Official Uniform Vendors
Pine Lake Preparatory collaborates with established and convenient uniform vendors to streamline the purchasing process for parents.
Land’s End
Land’s End has been a long-term official uniform provider for Pine Lake Preparatory. Purchasing from Land’s End not only equips your student with quality uniforms but also benefits the school, as Pine Lake Preparatory receives a 5% rebate on all purchases made through their program.
Flynn O’Hara
Flynn O’Hara offers a local presence with a store in Charlotte, providing an accessible option for families to purchase uniforms. This vendor offers a wide selection of uniform items and allows for in-person fittings and purchases.
BSN Teamstore
For spirit wear and some uniform items, BSN Teamstore is also an option. BSN Teamstore operates throughout the year with limited ordering windows. Check the BSN Teamstore website for current availability and ordering deadlines. Another store link is available here.
Purchasing Uniform Bottoms
Generic uniform bottoms, such as pants, skirts, and shorts that adhere to the uniform policy guidelines, can also be sourced from various retailers. Stores like Belk and Target, among others, often carry suitable uniform bottoms, providing flexibility and potentially more budget-friendly options for parents.
Used Uniform Sales
To further assist families and promote sustainability, the Pine Lake Preparatory PTO organizes Used Uniform Sales throughout the school year. These sales offer an excellent opportunity to purchase gently used uniform pieces at reduced prices, making uniform compliance more affordable for all families.
Athletic Apparel
The Pine Lake Preparatory Athletics department enhances school spirit by opening web stores at the start of each athletic season (fall, winter, and spring). These stores, available for limited periods, allow parents to order custom hoodies and tops specific to their student’s sport, fostering team unity and pride.
By utilizing these resources and understanding the uniform policy, parents can ensure their students are well-prepared and compliant with Pine Lake Preparatory’s guidelines, contributing to a focused and positive learning environment.
