School Uniforms
School Uniforms can be purchased through two vendors: Lands' End or Global Schoolwear (Tommy Hilfiger). Both uniform vendors carry most of the uniforms for each grade level.
We are happy to announce that you can now purchase Tigres hoodies and crewneck sweatshirts via this site until December 16. Once the sale closes on December 16, sweatshirts will be mailed directly to your home address.
Lands' End should also have the Tigres hoodie on their site soon, for all sizes. Thank you for patience as we transition vendors.
Lands' End and Global Schoolwear (Tommy Hilfiger) have a selection of fleece jackets, cardigan sweaters, and sweater vests for purchase for all grade levels. Any sweaters, sweater vests or fleeces that are worn inside the building during the day should have the DIS logo.
