--For Parents of Girls: 
If you are just now getting around to purchasing school shoes, you will discover that the navy blue New Balance shoe may be unavailable; the company recently discontinued the blue version, so when the current stock has been depleted there will be no more.  Please see the below information for guidance on this matter:

FYI--from the current Handbook, p. 39:

 Girls' Shoes:

• Grades 2-7: Navy blue oxford tie shoe with rubber sole (solid navy), or navy blue New
Balance-type shoe (if blue is unavailable, may substitute black). ...
• Should there be supply issues with shoes, Schiro’s or Ponsetti’s will work with you.
