Isely Traditional Magnet Elementary School

Dress Code

The school colors of red, white, & blue are incorporated with several options for students and parents. After a great deal of research, we believe that the choice that we have made is both cost effective and increases convenience for parents. If you are concerned about the cost factor, please contact the principal so that we can discus options. Isely remains a school for all students and we will ensure that everyone has access to the uniform.

Shirt Options:                  White polo shirt, oxford shirt or blouse, long or short sleeved (no sleeveless)

                                                “Flag” red polo shirt, long or short sleeved (no sleeveless)

                                                Navy blue polo or oxford shirt, long or short sleeved (no sleeveless)

·         Shirts must be tucked in. All shirts must have a collar and be free of any logo, except for the Isely logo.

Layering Options:          White, navy blue, or “flag” red sweaters, sweatshirts (no hoods), and/or vests

Isely school sweatshirts

White, navy blue, or “flag” red turtlenecks may be worn under other shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, and jumpers.

Undershirts must be white.

·         Sweaters, sweatshirts, and vests must be solid in color, without hoods, and free of any patterns, emblems, or labels on the outside, except for the Isely logo. Style is up to the parent discretion.

Pant/Dress Options:     Navy blue or khaki uniform jumper-style dress; navy blue knit polo dress, long or short sleeved (no sleeveless). Must have a collar and be free of any logo.

                                                Navy blue or khaki skirt

                                                Navy blue or khaki “skort”

                                                Navy blue or khaki tailored shorts or slacks, or tailored capris

Other:                  Red, white or navy blue socks (or tights for girls)

Shorts may be worn under dresses and skirts for girls, as long as they are not visible beneath them.

Items may be purchased with the following restrictions:

                                Absolutely no printing or logo anywhere on the clothing

                                No jeans, sweats, or overalls.

                                Clothing shall be sized correctly to fit the student (BOE policy 1473)                              

                                Belts shall be worn if bottoms contain belt loops (BOE policy 1473)

                                Pants and shorts must be tailored (waistband, hemmed, appropriate fit.)

No bandanas or headscarves are to be worn, except for religious purposes.

Many of these items are available at department stores (Penney’s, Sears, Target and Wal-Mart all carry many of the items.). The following items are not included in the uniform policy and are left to parent discretion: Backpacks, school supplies, lunch boxes, winter coats, style of belts, shoes, and hair accessories (provided none of these create a distraction in the learning environment to self or others.)

Clothing should be neat, clean and of proper length and size. Shoes are required. Extreme hairstyles are to be avoided. Scout uniforms may be worn on troop/den meeting days.

It is the parents’ responsibility to mark all articles of clothing with the student’s name. Uniforms will be next to impossible to identify without the child’s name written in an inconspicuous location. Teachers will not be responsible for lost articles of clothing that have not been marked with the child’s name.

The principal may grant occasional exceptions to the Dress Code for special days or circumstances. Requests for exceptions should be submitted to the principal in writing.
