Anderson Elementary
Updated July 2026
Anderson Elementary School will follow the district-wide student code for Tulsa Public Schools set forth by the Board of Education. Students must wear a solid-colored shirt with a collar and solid colored uniform pants. You may view the full student dress code requirements here.
General Rules about Student Dress:
- No shoes with wheels (wheelies or similar); slides or bubble slides. Closed-toed shoes are recommended.
- Excessively large or baggy clothes are prohibited, including pajamas.
- No tank tops, crop tops, or revealing clothing. In general, shirts should have sleeves.
- Caps, hats, doo-rags, skull caps, bonnets, scarves, bandanas, or similar head coverings shall not be worn to class. If a hoodie is worn to school, a student can not have the ‘hood’ on their head in the building. A student will receive a warning to remove the hood. If they continue, they will have to put the hoodie away.
- Sunglasses (unless prescribed by a physician) shall not be worn to class or within the school building.
- Shorts and skirts must be of modest length defined as a maximum of 6-in. above the knee of the wearer or not above the fingertip of the wearer with the arm fully extended, whichever is longer.
- Students shall wear footwear for protection and hygienic reasons while on school grounds. House slippers and flip–flops are not acceptable footwear.
If a student doesn’t have the appropriate dress, we will notify the parent to bring something for the student to wear. If the student is repeatedly wearing something out of dress code, disciplinary consequences will be given.
