Shalwar Kameez is a desi thing...not necessarily Islamic or religious clothing.
Regardless, I dont think its right that your child be upset because he doesnt wear shalwar kameez to school...he shouldnt be so afraid. I would talk to the people in charge straight away and ask them where does it state in all of your paperwork that children have to wear shalwar kameez to school?
I went to a private Islamic school as well and we were not told to wear shalwar kameez. It was a hijab and abaya for the girls and pants and shirts for the boys.
