Good Uniform/Dress Code Policy Information: 

Dear Gator Families,

As we continue working to best support our students and families in meeting uniform expectations, we are making a small adjustment to our dress guidelines. Moving forward, our approach will more closely align with Perry Middle School—the campus that many of our students will attend after their time at Good.

Our weekly dress expectations for tops will remain the same:

• Monday & Tuesday: Uniform tops

• Wednesday: “Shirt That Brings You Joy” or a college shirt

• Thursday: Free Dress for $1

• Friday: House Shirt and jeans or uniform bottoms. Jeans are a suggestion - students can wear school appropriate athletic pants, joggers, shorts, skirts, or a uniform dress with their house shirt on these days as well. 

Students are always welcome to wear uniform tops any day of the week.

The change applies to bottoms. Students may now wear bottoms that meet the CFB ISD Dress Code every day of the week. This means - for example - students may choose to wear school appropriate uniform shorts, athletic shorts, skirts, jeans or traditional uniform bottoms throughout the week, as long as they are paired with the required tops on designated days. Uniform dress are still a great choice as well. 

Please note that all bottoms must follow the CFB ISD Dress Code. For example:

• Pajama bottoms are not permitted

• Yoga pants, leggings, and jeggings may only be worn if the shirt extends to mid-thigh

For full details, please review the CFB ISD Dress Code here:

We are working to update this information across all of our websites, so we appreciate your patience as we make these updates.

We appreciate your continued partnership and support as we work to create consistency and clarity for our students.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Ortiz

Principal

Good Elementary
