2007-2008 Dress Standards The purpose of requiring dress standards is to help students maintain neatness, good grooming, safety, and a wholesome community atmosphere at Erie Day School. Anything that draws unusual attention to the child often deters from a wholesome EDS learning atmosphere. The dress standards are to be followed daily by all students in Grades 1 through 8. All dress articles are available at numerous local retail stores as well as through the Lands´ End catalog (with the exception of plaid jumpers and skirts) and at the Red Door (located at 124 West 9th Street).
