We adhere to a student dress code at Aspen Academy primarily because we want to support the idea that external accoutrements do not make a person special. Instead, we want encourage the sense that it is one’s mind, heart and character that causes an individual to be valued. An Aspen Academy Uniform Dress Code was established to minimize peer pressure, create socioeconomic equalization, improve the appearance of the student body, allow for better identification of members of the school community, improve students’ ability to focus in class and to reinforce an academic atmosphere.
Aspen Academy has two approved vendors for uniform apparel: Lands’ End and Educational Outfitters.
A. Lands’ End
Aspen Academy is a member of the Lands’ End Preferred School program. The purchase of ANY products from the Lands’ End School Uniforms catalog and at landsend.com/school includes a contribution to our school. However, ONLY the products in our dress code are approved for school use. When ordering from Lands’ End, please use the Aspen Academy school ID #9001-0439-9 so that contributions to the school can be properly tracked.
There are two ways to find our Dress Code clothing on www.landsend.com/school:
1. Browse through the various indexes for Girls, Boys, Women, and Men until you find the products approved by Aspen Academy.
2. Refer to your Lands’ End School Uniforms catalog and enter the 9-digit product number of the Dress Code product you wish to order into the “search” box (found at the top right corner of every page).
