Elementary Schools
There are six elementary schools serving the district.
A three-year pilot program for uniforms was proposed by Central Elementary principal Lee McFerren in order to "blur socioeconomic distinctions and improve discipline and the learning environment". The policy required solid shirts of any color and black, khaki and navy pants with no more than four pockets. The program went into effect in 2005-06 at Central and across the remaining schools during the following year. During a regular board meeting on July 14, 2008, the board passed a vote that all-but-ended the near-uniform dress code that had existed for elementary students since the 2005-2006 school year. Logos, writing and pictures - including on crew neck shirts are permitted under the revised policy.

“If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
