Uniform: K4–6th Grade
The table below outlines the uniform guidelines for K4–6th grade students.
A few items to note:
- Appropriately sized and fitted shirts may be worn untucked.
- Girls in grades K4–2nd grade should wear blue bike shorts under their dresses.
- A long-sleeved shirt (plain, solid colored with no hood) may be worn underneath a short-sleeved uniform polo if it is plain white or if it matches the uniform polo color (navy blue with navy blue / red with red).
- Leggings should not be worn underneath shorts. On days that it is too cold to wear shorts, pants will need to be worn. Girls may wear black or navy blue leggings/tights under skirts/skorts/dresses.
- Sixth grade girls and boys may wear the dialectic uniform as an option in the spring semester.
- While in class and the hallways, lower school students may wear any Geneva branded outerwear from the school store or uniform outerwear from Land’s End or Tommy Hilfiger. Please note that for the 2026–2027 school year, students may wear uniform outerwear from Land’s End or Tommy Hilfiger or the official lower school uniform sweatshirt (coming soon) sold from the school store. Sweatshirts must be appropriately sized (sleeve length and overall fit).

Guidelines for Shoes Lower school students need time to run and play; we are pleased that the schedule allows a lot of time each day for moving around and physical activity. All lower school student should wear shoes with rubber soles so that they can play more freely outside, on the playground, in the gym, and during PE with less risk of injury and less damage to the floors. Tennis shoes/sneakers (including high-top for ankle support), saddle shoes with rubber soles, and Mary Janes with rubber soles are acceptable. Shoes that do not meet the uniform requirements include boots, sandals, crocs, slipper-style or "Ugg" shoes, and light-up shoes. |
|
Guidelines for Socks Boys: Solid colored socks in white, black, or navy blue (brand logos are fine) in sizes crew (mid-calf), ankle (quarter), and no show. No over the calf, knee high, or over the knee socks, or socks with decorative fabrics or colors. Girls: Solid colored socks in white, black, or navy blue (brand logos are fine) in sizes traditional knee socks, crew (mid-calf), ankle (quarter), and no show. No over the knee socks, or socks with decorative fabrics or colors. |

Dress for Spirit Fridays (every Friday) Any Geneva top (e.g. TGS polo, team or club shirt or sweater, or TGS shirt or sweater purchased through the school store) may be worn with uniform shorts, skirt, skort, or pants. |
|
Dress for Field Trips K4–6th grade students must wear the RED TGS monogrammed polo shirt on most field trips in order to provide our teachers and chaperones a simple and quick way to account for our students. Field trips on which the red polo is not required (such as SALT activities) will be communicated in advance. |
