New Uniform Supplier – Lands End
As previously communicated, Dennis Uniforms abruptly closed in October, leaving us without a uniform supplier. Since then, we have worked to find a reliable supplier to replace Dennis Uniforms. Thank you for your patience as we performed our due diligence.
After extensive research and valuable input from administrators, staff, and parent representatives, we have selected Land’s End as our uniform supplier for the foreseeable future. We believe their quality, pricing, and reliability will be an improvement regarding some of the issues we experienced with Dennis Uniforms.
Please read through the FAQs below for more details.
We hope this will be a smooth transition for our OC families.

I still have some OC apparel from Dennis Uniforms. Can my student still wear that?
Yes. (See next item for more details.)
Are there any changes to the uniform dress code?
Yes. See bullet points below for changes to the uniform dress code.
-
High School Students Only – After Christmas Break, in addition to the currently accepted uniform items, students may wear blue or black solid denim jeans (no holes or tears) as an option. Here is the updated high school dress code policy. Skirts/skorts will be phased out during the spring semester and will not be part of the uniform dress code starting with the 2025-2026 school year. (Please note: Dennis and Lands End shorts will still be allowed.)
-
K-8 students – The uniform dress code will remain the same. However, only skorts, not skirts, will be available for purchase. Dennis Uniform skirts may continue to be worn.
Is there a list of the Land’s End items that align with the OC uniform dress code?
Yes, we have linked a list for your convenience.
Will there still be a way to purchase used uniforms?
Currently, we do not have enough supply to host a used uniform sale. If you would like to drop off any donated uniforms at the Elementary or High School office, within policy, we welcome that. We ask that any borrowed uniforms be returned so we can build our stock and then, Lord willing, hold a used uniform sale in the future.
