Uniforms & Dress Code
Details about the dress code can be found on page 16 of the 2020/2021 Handbook.
Uniforms from 2019/2020 will be allowed for one more year if in good condition. Please purchase all new uniforms according to the 2020/2021 guidelines.
UPDATE: Our partnership with Lands End has ended. We have switched to the local company, Flynn O'Hara.
SCHOOL CODE TX152
Notes for Upperclassmen
Upperclassmen hold the responsibility as Standard Bearers for younger grades. Please ensure that your uniform meets the high bar that has been set.
Note: Upper School students are allowed to wear their uniforms from earlier years if they are in good shape, though we ask that you do not mix and match upper and lower uniforms.
Additional Notes
Shoes must be a solid color and in good condition. Embellishments like neon stripes or glitter are not allowed. PE shoes must be nonskid soles.
Due to uncertain times, Lands End is experiencing technical difficulties and delays with monograms. Please contact Monogram on the Mound if you have any embroidery needs.
Physical Education: Middle & Upper
- Black tees and shorts from the previous year permitted for one year only. We are moving to gray shirts and blue shorts. (2020/2021 only)

- Solid navy basketball shorts to the knee
- PE uniforms must be washed regularly
No additional colors, stripes, words, or designs on any PE clothing. Brand names must be smaller than a business card. ex: "Nike" should not be longer than 3.5" nor taller than 2".
Spirit Wear Guidelines
- Students may wear blue jeans without holes, without slits, and must be free of decorations or embellishments.
- Students may wear any approved spirit-wear t-shirts, including shirts approved for extra-curricular activities or uniform shirts.

Edits to Dress Code Not In Handbook
- We are happy to announce that the first and third Friday of each month will be Spirit Day. This means properly-fitting jeans (not jeggings, no sagging, no rips ) or uniform bottoms may be worn with a Spirit Shirt.
- FCA hoodies are now allowed any day of the week as long as they are FCA athletic wear and not a distraction (hoods must stay down, drawstrings are not toys.) This is a trial period for future years. If hoodies become playthings, they will go away.
You may purchase FCA athletic wear (including hoodies) here: https://foundersflowermound.itemorder.com/sale.
Spirit Shirts may be purchased from the PTO here: https://fmfounderspto2020.itemorder.com/sale.
For standardized shoes, we will be using SHOEBACCA in solid colors. Price match available.
