We have received new inventory of SHORT SLEEVE POLOS in sizes XS, S, M and XL.

Gym shirts in all sizes are expected to arrive on Friday.

We have temporarily paused online uniform orders while we prepare for order collections next week. Online sales will resume on Friday September 9th and any orders placed then will arrive home in your child’s backpack.

Online order collection will be held this coming Tuesday, September 6th, from 1pm to 3pm, in the courtyard next to the main building. Our team of volunteers, including many of our PS16 alumni who have moved on to middle school, will be on hand to assist you. We ask that you do extend some patience to our young volunteers working hard to gain community service. If you are unable to collect your order on Tuesday we will send it home with your child on Thursday. 

In order to make the collection process faster please have your ORDER NUMBER. This can be found in the confirmation email you received when you placed your order. Print outs are not necessary, but it would be really helpful if you arrive with your order number written on a piece of paper. We are recommending that you arrive during your designated time slot based on order numbers.

• 1pm – #6436 through #6530
• 1:30pm – #6531 through #6590
• 2pm – #6591 through #6659
• 2:30pm – #6660 through #6733

We thank you in advance for your cooperation!
