Allentown School District students are required to wear school uniforms. All school uniform clothing must be appropriately sized for the child, that is, they must be no more than one regular size larger than the student actually measures. Extra wide, extra-long, baggy or sagging clothes are not acceptable. All shirts will be tucked.

Each school has a uniform bank where families who are in-need can receive new or gently used uniform pieces.  To obtain access to the uniform bank, please speak to your school building leader if you are in need of uniform support for your student.
