As we get ready for an amazing 2026–2027 school year, we want to help everyone start the year prepared and confident!

Please take a few minutes to review the DeSoto ISD Dress Code before you begin back-to-school shopping. Following the district dress code helps create a safe, focused learning environment where every scholar is ready to learn from the first day of school.

Here are a few important reminders:
💚 Shirts: Solid green, gold, black, white, or gray collared shirts
🖤 Bottoms: Black, khaki, gray, navy, or olive pants, shorts, skirts, capris, or jumpers that meet district length requirements
👟 Shoes: Closed-toe and closed-heel shoes are required every day
🧥 Outerwear: Any color is allowed, but scholars must wear a dress code-approved collared shirt underneath
💙 Spirit Fridays: Dark blue or black hemmed jeans may be worn with a DeSoto ISD spirit shirt or a solid green, gold, black, white, or gray collared shirt

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure our scholars arrive dressed for success. We can't wait to welcome everyone back for another incredible year of learning, creativity, and excellence at Woodridge Fine Arts & Gifted Academy!

💚💛 Together, we'll continue to Reach for Infinity & Beyond! 🦅
