UNIFORM FAQ

Q: Why are we enforcing uniform standards consistently across IDEA Public Schools?A: IDEA Public Schools believes that uniforms play an important role in maintaining a culture of focused learning and positive behavior, and in many respects, the image of IDEA Public Schools. Uniforms promote a sense of school identity and cohesion, helping to raise the standards of school academics and prepare students for success in college and citizenship.

Q: Why do we have the same uniform standards Pre-K – 12?A: The only variation in uniforms by grade level is the color of the polo shirt. It is important to share uniform standards across the organization. In most instances, Academy and College Prep schools are located on one campus. Younger students learn and emulate older students. In turn, older students serve as role models. Unifying standards allows for consistency in and across all of our schools.

Q: Why are male students required to have short clean-cut hair (above the neck)?A: Clean-cut hair eliminates unnecessary distractions (i.e. who has the coolest hair style or color?). Extreme,eccentric, trendy haircuts or hairstyles are not acceptable. If students use dyes, tints, or bleaches, they must choose those that result in a natural hair color. Colors that detract from a professional student appearance are prohibited. Q: Why can’t we have slight variation in the standards, our own shoes for example? A: Experts say that standard uniforms reduce peer pressure by removing attention from economic and social differences among students. They also find that standard uniforms save parents money, time, and energy. For these reasons, IDEA Public Schools is committed to making sure that IDEA students’ uniforms are thesame across all schools. Q: Why do we have approved vendors?A: We have approved vendors for two reasons: IDEA Public Schools has approved vendors in order to ensure the most competitive pricing and consistency for all IDEA parents and students. Our vendors are dedicated to superior customer service and serving IDEA families.

Q: What if people are not able to afford the uniform requirements?A: We understand that uniform costs can be expensive, particularly for our lowest-income families and those families with multiple children. We have worked with our approved vendors to provide the most cost effective and durable product possible. If the uniform expenses represent a hardship for families, we will work with them during and throughout the school year to ensure all students are in uniform.
