In accordance with the Katy ISD dress code as well as the elementary handbook, the following information does apply. It is for your safety and comfort in PE class.

Crocs, Flip flops, boots, open toed sandals, dress shoes, cleats, Skecher wedges, heelys, spinners, fashion tennis

shoes, Toms, Bobs, shoes with an open top and shoes with felt on the bottom and shoes with a strap across the back are hazardous and therefore NOT permissible.

Girls must wear shorts under their dresses for various activities as well. Long dresses and skirts are not recommended for PE days as

they could hinder movement.

able to participate in all activities safely.

classes.

These shoes have a wedge in the heel which make them

unsafe for running.

and fall.

Skinny Band Shoes

We prefer these type of shoes not be worn for PE as there is a

chance of the skinny straps breaking and the shoes

becoming loose fitting, possibly falling off. As well, there is no protection for the top of the

foot.

Mary Janes

Even though the shoes meet most requirements, the

protection on top of the foot is not substantial and the buckle

could cause injury.

PLEASE wear socks with your

Shoes!!!
