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.
Leggings should not be worn underneath shorts. On days that it is too cold to wear shorts, students should wear pants. Girls may also wear black or navy blue leggings/tights under skirts/skorts/dresses.
6th graders may wear the dialectic uniform as an option in the spring semester.
While in class and the hallways, grammar school students may wear uniform outerwear from Lands’ End or Tommy Hilfiger or the official uniform sweatshirt purchased from the school store. Sweatshirts must be appropriately sized (sleeve length and overall fit).

Guidelines for Shoes
Grammar 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 grammar school students 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, slippers, UGG (or UGG-like) shoes/boots, and light-up shoes.
Guidelines for Socks
Boys: Solid colored socks in white, black, or navy blue (brand logos are fine) in 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 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 sweatshirt purchased through the school store) may be worn with uniform shorts 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.
Non-Uniform Field Trips & Special Event Days (5th & 6th Grade)
Mesh gym shorts (black)
