Purchase Process: Important – Please read

Students need to bring a check made out to Lakota West Upbeat Club, or cash to pay for their uniform items. Items not paid for will not be issued until payment is received. You may also pay via PayPal on our website (CHARMS). If payment is made via PayPal, bring the receipt to fitting day as proof of payment. The students need their summer uniforms on Friday August 11, so parents must bring payment on fitting day in order for the student to be ready on Friday in their summer uniform.

Special Note for Freshmen:

Freshman Orientation is on the same nights as Uniform Fittings. If your section’s time conflicts with Orientation, please come over after Orientation to be fitted for uniforms. If you do not have a conflict, please come with your section as scheduled. Uniform Fittings are at Main Campus.

Volunteers – We still need more parents to help out on Tuesday! Sign up Here
