Purchasing Uniform Items

Uniform polos and sweatshirts are available for purchase at Excel during regular office hours or at Back to School Night (August 22nd). Please note that uniform orders may take up to 3 weeks to arrive if we sell out of your student’s size. Because of this, students may wear a solid colored polo shirt and follow the uniform policy for bottoms and shoes during the first weeks of school. If your family needs financial assistance to purchase uniforms, please let us know by calling 253-487-7530.

Excel Public Charter School 2018-19 School Supplies The materials below are required or recommended. Please note that in the first weeks of school, teachers will inform students of the organization systems in their classroom.

Planners will also be provided to students in the first month of school.
