All JH & HS PE Clothes for 2022-23 will be ordered through an online store. Each student is required to have a t-shirt and shorts as his/her PE uniform. Students may use PE clothes purchased in previous years if they still have them. Sweatshirts and sweatpants are also available for purchase but are not required. Please note, however, that students will only be permitted to wear the school-issued sweatshirt and/or sweatpants when the weather is colder. Students will not be allowed to wear their own sweatshirt or sweatpants this year in PE class.
The junior high and high school PE teachers have partnered with Breedlove's Sporting Goods to create this online store. Please click this link to access the online store https://rockridgepeuniforms22.itemorder.com/. Parents are encouraged to go online today to place an order for their student's PE clothing. Parents will be asked to submit their student's name and grade level during the order process, and can place orders for multiple students in the same order. All orders will be shipped directly to the school and will be delivered to students in August when school starts.
The online store is now open and will close July 27th to allow time for the orders to be processed & delivered to the school. Feel free to contact the JH or HS Office with any questions about the online order process.
