Uniform Policy – Sinclair Lane is a Uniform School
All students are expected to be in full uniform each day. Uniforms are a non-negotiable part of our school expectations.
Uniform Requirements:
Bottoms: Navy blue pants, shorts, skirts, skorts, or jumpers
Tops: White or light blue polo-style shirts
Maryland Tax-Free Week is August 11–17 – a great opportunity to purchase school uniforms and other clothing without paying the 6% sales tax. This is the perfect time to make sure your child has everything they need for the school year.
