New Outerwear Requirements
for 2023-2024 Dress Code

As we begin to prepare for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, we wanted to inform you in advance of an update to our dress code for Lower, Middle, and Upper School students in regards to outerwear. Beginning with our 2023-2024 school year which starts August 8, 2023, the dress code for each division will include the following for outwear requirements: 

Sweatshirts and hoodies (Westfield only) may be worn over a collared shirt (or over a Westfield t-shirt on Friday spirit days). No other sweatshirts/hoodies may be worn. Solid color pullovers and vests (such as Patagonia, Columbia, Vineyard Vines, etc.) over a collared shirt may be worn. Middle and Upper School students should wear their Westfield crewneck sweatshirt (one provided to each student) over a Westfield collared shirt for Wednesday required dress (see below). Jackets and coats without any wording may be worn. Camoflauge items are not allowed. 

We will provide a Westfield crewneck sweatshirt at no cost to every student in grades Pre-K through 12th. Please click on the online order form below so that you may choose your child’s size and choose a color (hunter green or grey). Each sweatshirt will have the Westfield W embroidered on the left chest area. The sweatshirts will be given to students during the first week of school in August. If your child is not returning to Westfield next year, you will not need to complete the online order form.
