Good to Know
Student uniform items may be purchased at any retail outlet as long as they meet the school's uniform criteria, except for official Harvey "Dri-Fit" and cotton t-shirts. Harvey uniform shirts can be purchased online and at the annual uniform fair, held prior to the start of each school year. The only acceptable non-collared shirts (except for Spirit Days on Fridays) are the uniform "Dri-Fit" and cotton t-shirts with the Harvey logo.
Oversized, baggy, extremely tight, ill-fitting, or see-through clothing is not allowed. Shirts worn with leggings must be at least hip length. If belts are worn, they must fasten and be black, brown, or khaki.
Footwear must be appropriate for school and follow the current Manatee County Schools Dress Code. For safety reasons, flip flops are not to be worn.
The uniform policy is mandatory for every student who attends Harvey. Exceptions apply for students with strict religious beliefs regarding clothing, as well as those participating in Boy or Girl Scouts or other national organizations with their own uniforms — students may wear appropriate organization attire on the day of their meeting.
Harvey has its own "store" for donated uniforms that are new or gently used and still in good condition. This store is open to anyone in need of assistance, or for supplies needed temporarily by the school clinic.
A student enrolling at Harvey K-8 after the school year has begun has 10 days to comply with the school uniform policy.
If a Student Is Out of Uniform
- A verbal warning may be given from a staff member to the student and/or a note may be sent home.
- A letter or referral from the principal may be sent home requiring a reply from the parent/guardian.
- The student may be required to change into clothing that complies with the uniform policy.
- Parent/guardian may be contacted and required to bring appropriate attire to school for the child.
- A conference may be scheduled with the principal.
All clothing items must follow the Manatee County Schools Dress Code.
