Standard School Attire 101

Here's everything you need to know about our 2025-2026 Standard School Attire (SSA): designed to keep things simple, safe, and distraction-free so our kids can focus on learning and play!  

👕 TOPS:
*Shirts must have a collar (polo, button-down, or turtleneck).
*Must be solid colors only and any color is fine!
*No graphics or pictures on shirts or sweatshirts, please.
*Waverly Belmont spirit wear is allowed every day!

👖 BOTTOMS:
*Pants, shorts, skirts, skorts, or jumpers in navy, black, gray, green, or any shade of tan.
*Leggings are OK, but only if worn under skirts, dresses, or shorts.

🧥 EXTRAS:
*Solid-color jackets, cardigans, sweaters, or sweatshirts are fine to wear over SSA tops.

👟 SHOES:
*Closed-toe shoes preferred.
*Kids have 40+ minutes of recess daily and gym twice a week, so they need to be dressed for movement! Think burpees, monkey bars, running, etc.

🎒ALL ITEMS:
*No brand requirements, but logos must be small (2 inches or less), and no words or large designs.

First Week Of School Schedule

  • August 7 & 8 - All Grades (full day) 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Walk-To-Class Instructions:
  • 1st day of school - parents of students in all grades may walk their students to class. Please have ID ready.
  • 2nd day of school - parents of Kindergarten students only may walk their students to class. Please have ID ready.
  • 3rd day of school - it’s independence day! All students walk to their class independently 😊

WB Volunteer Opportunities

It takes all kinds of volunteers to keep our school community running well.  If you'd like to be in the know when needs arise and find out how you can plug in, click the blue button below to sign up.  Note that not all volunteer opportunities require you to be present during the school or work day, so volunteers with all kinds of schedules are needed!

We will email out to this list when there are volunteer opportunities that come up throughout the year.  There is also a place to note if you have interest in a larger role on the PTO.
