Parents at Irving want a mandatory student uniform policy. We know that some students do not want to wear uniforms, but we hope that you will see that they do.

 

By law we must let parents know that if they do not believe that students should wear uniforms, the parents may come to school to sign a paper so that their own children can wear street clothing to Irving. Please think carefully about your beliefs before you ask for a waiver for your child. Such a decision should be made by you, not by your children. Also, we are required by law to supply uniforms for those children whose families cannot afford to purchase them. Many families have discovered that the uniforms are actually less expensive than traditional school clothes because fewer items need to be purchased.

 

We will call parents of all students who are not wearing uniforms starting the very first day of school. Also, we will have those students who are not wearing uniforms eat breakfast and lunch inside the building. It is our desire to support the parents that want Irving students to wear uniforms.

Purposes of wearing student uniforms:

1.         To provide for the safety of the students

2.         To maintain an environment in which students may learn without distracting others and without being distracted by others

 

You are not required to buy the uniforms at Irving; however, uniforms (and gym clothes for physical education) are on sale at Irving from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day.  They will also be on sale before and after the orientation meeting on August 26.  You may buy uniforms anywhere you like as long as the clothing conforms with the rules listed on the following pages. Please remember that uniform clothing must also comply with the dress code.
