UNIFORMS Uniforms are worn for PE.  If you want your child to buy one through HPMS, they're sold during the 2nd day of PE.  If you choose to have your child bring in their own, please (if possible) have dark blue or black shorts (7" inseam) and a PLAIN heather grey shirt.  We should be able to write their name on the back of the shirt and on the tag of the shorts.
