• Platt Elementary Uniform Policy
    2021-2022


     All public schools in Bossier Parish adopted uniforms as a mandatory dress code. A committee of parents, teachers, and school administrators chose the uniform for our students. Uniforms will be worn daily and should fit properly – no sagging or oversized clothes. All shirts will be tucked in the pants, shorts, or skirts.

    The school colors are red, white, and navy and our mascot is the Platt cowboy. Platt t-shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets may be purchased throughout the year online.  Click Here to order.  The students will be able to wear the Platt t-shirts daily and on field trips. Platt sweatshirts may be worn any day or over a uniform shirt.

    The following guidelines will apply to all students. Parent help and cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
