- Daily outdoor shoes appropriate for the weather (no flip-flops please)
We have connected with two local companies who provide a great selection of uniform footwear.
Keeping Used Uniforms out of the Landful
At River Valley School, sustainability and community care go hand in hand. We’re committed to ensuring that used uniforms don’t end up in the landfill. Gently used items can be dropped off with Ms. Lori at Reception for reuse within our school community. For pieces that are no longer wearable, we work closely with local organizations and the City of Calgary to support responsible fabric recycling. Together, we can extend the life of our uniforms and reduce waste — one item at a time.
