Dress Code

Academic Attire for Students 

All LBUSD K-8 schools require that students follow a uniform clothes policy. Please read our guidelines so that you will be fully aware of what is and is not acceptable in student dress at Herrera Elementary School. Students are expected to be dressed in the appropriate uniform daily. Herrera 's uniform policy will be strictly enforced!  

HERRERA SCHOOL DRESS CODE

Herrera is a scholarly community. As such, school uniforms have helped to make classrooms academically focused, prevent campus crime, and alleviate peer pressure. Moreover, uniforms are required for students in all elementary and middle schools in the Long Beach Unified School District.  Student uniforms help to create a positive learning climate, contribute to safe schools, and encourage higher standards of excellence in students’ dress, conduct and achievement. Resources are available to assist economically disadvantaged pupils.  Information about assistance and exemptions may be obtained by contacting the school’s Assistant Principal in person.  100% uniform compliance is our goal this year! Please support our efforts to keep your child safe and focused on learning by having him/her in uniform each day.
