Uniforms Update
Uniform Rental Program - 7th & 8th Grade
The Cario Band Boosters are pleased to introduce a uniform rental program for 7th & 8th graders that will significantly reduce the cost of dresses and tuxedos for students. Students will be able to rent a dress or tuxedo for the school year for $15. The rental program allows for the flexibility of swapping out your dress or tuxedo for a different size later in the year if a student outgrows a uniform. All alterations are the responsibility of the parents.
As we transition into this program, most 8th graders will already have a uniform. Those 8th graders who ordered a full uniform this year or individual pieces may participate. Please see the forms that went home with your student and the uniform pieces you ordered.
Seventh graders will have the option of participating in the rental program or owning their uniform as before. All students who ordered a dress or tuxedo will receive that dress or tuxedo through the program. The rental agreement forms will be distributed at a later date and will be available online.
Please contact Mary Dinda at uniforms@cariobands.org if you have questions.
Sixth Grade - Stagecoach
Thanks to all the 6th grade parents for getting your student to Stagecoach and ordering the uniform pants. They will be distributed along with the polo shirts when they arrive.
