Uniforms & School Clothing

Students in Pre-Kindergarten through Fifth Grades wear the school uniform on all school days (unless otherwise noted). OES uniform sweatshirts and fleece vests may be purchased at the OES Gallery & Store. Used uniforms in good condition are available for purchase. Contact the Lower School Office to make arrangements to purchase used uniforms. If you have outgrown items to donate, please bring them to the Lower School Office.

The OES Gallery Store (www.oes.edu/anthill), located in the main lobby of the Upper School, offers a variety of uniform items with the OES logo, including shirts, fleece vests, jackets, sweatshirts and rain jackets. In addition, pants, shorts, shirts and sweaters can be purchased from Dennis Uniform Company at 105 S.E. Hawthorne Boulevard, Portland, OR 97214 (near Water Avenue), by telephone at 503-234-7431, or on the web at www.dennisuniform.com.

Some items may be ordered from Lands’ End School Uniforms catalog. Lands’ End orders can be placed by telephone at 800-469-2222 or online at www.landsend.com/school. Ask for the School Uniform Catalog (the OES customer number is 9000-4611-1). In order to maintain color consistency, please order khaki items only from Dennis or Lands’ End. Other uniform items may be purchased elsewhere only if color and style match uniform requirements. Please note that used uniforms are available from the Used Uniform Closet located in Room 10. Please contact Kim Stevens, Used Uniform Coordinator, for more information.
