P.E. UNIFORM |
 All MIDDLE SCHOOL students are required to dress in the IDS P.E. uniform consisting of IDS gray t-shirt and IDS black shorts for all P.E. classes. Dressing in uniform is required for every P.E. class along with appropriate supportive athletic shoes.
PLEASE NOTE: As with all personal items, we require that P.E. shirts and shorts be marked with your child’s name, both on the inside label and in the appropriate area on the front of the uniform. We encourage our students to use their P.E. lockers so they can easily keep up with their uniforms. Dressing in uniform for each class is required as part of their P.E. participation grade. |

DRESS CODE - PRE-K THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE
School is the workplace for students until they are ready to go out on their own. This is their job and their work environment. Adhering to appropriate dress expectations prepares students for real life work expectations. In order to minimize teacher and administrative time in monitoring appropriate clothing, the dress code guidelines will be more specific. The criteria are designed to promote a positive self-image for the student and maintain proper decorum for a learning environment. All items should be clean, in good repair, represent modest dress, present a neat appearance, and be totally appropriate for a school setting. The guidelines below are to make it clear that articles of clothing that contain offensive or distracting messages and/or pictures are unacceptable. Since everyone's idea of unacceptable is often different, we seek to clarify the gray areas altogether.
Dress expectations for MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY are as follows:
- REQUIRED options include: polo style, a buttoned-down collared or Oxford shirt, and/or crew neck tee shirt tops with sleeves. Khaki or black pants or shorts are RECOMMENDED for field trips and special events.
- REQUIRED: All shirts/pants/shorts can be any solid color or pattern (i.e., paisley, plaid, stripes, polka dots), with or without a small logo displayed. (Use the IDS logo on field trip shirts as a guide.) Shirts/pants/shorts with ANY writing or ANY pictures are to be left for places other than school (except for Friday’s theme days).
- NOTE: All IDS tee shirts or polo shirts are acceptable with or without writing. We encourage any IDS shirt to be worn to show pride in and appreciation for IDS – YES!
- REQUIRED: Shirts for both boys and girls are to be a length that can easily be tucked in.
- REQUIRED: Please note that skirts, shorts and skorts must be 3 inches above the knee or longer. Long pants are always an option. All pants must be in good condition and school appropriate. Pants with rips, holes or tears are definitely non-examples.
- REQUIRED: Boys’ and girls’ undergarments must be covered by shorts or pants.
- REQUIRED: Shoes must be closed-toed for safety at play and healthy outdoor activities. Athletic shoes (often called sneakers) are preferred daily and are required for all PE and intramural classes.
FRIDAY OPTIONS: The Middle School Student Council and the eastside Leadership Council will have the responsibility and opportunity to gather ideas from all students to make Fridays special theme days. Sports days, vacation tee-shirt days, cartoon character days, pajama pants days, spirit days, and other ideas for special clothing days will give the students ownership, leadership decision-making strategies, and latitude for options within reasonable boundaries. The themes will be announced in Monday Morning Meetings and posted on the IDS website monthly so that students can plan ahead.
NOTE 1: The field trip polo shirt is required for every field trip and most special events. The field trip shirt has helped to increase safety off campus, as well as build pride and spirit for our school.
NOTE 2: We will adhere to the above dress code policy; students needing shirt reminders will be charged for their choice of an IDS prism colored polo style or crew neck shirt with an IDS logo
