Uniform Policy
Parents are required to purchase the correct uniform for their children for the 2021 - 22 school year.
The Burnham School District 154.5 Board of Education has developed a policy that requires a Student Uniform for all students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Students will be expected to adhere to the Student Uniform Policy when school begins this fall. Please carefully read the Student Uniform Policy and share the information with your family members who will be attending Burnham School. Wearing school uniforms to and from school on all school attendance days maintains and promotes orderly school function, student safety, and a positive learning environment.

Shirts worn underneath uniform shirts/blouses must be solid color red, black or white. Logo-free, solid-colored red, black or grey sweaters, sweatshirts (pullover or zip-up) and vests may be worn over acceptable shirts with collars.
