Policy Regarding Physical Education Uniform Clothing (2011-2012)
In an effort to ensure that students in P.E. classes are appropriately attired, the following administrative policy has been adopted.
All students must purchase a standard ACS Athens P.E. uniform consisting of:
- Sweatsuit (sweater/shirt/sweatpants), T-shirt, Shorts
The uniforms will be available during the first two weeks of school when students are issued their P.E. locks. The cost of the P.E. uniforms will be €75.00.
ACS Athens believes that P.E. uniforms are essential for the following reasons:
- Middle School and High School students (grades 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) need the structure and order that is dictated by wearing specific P.E. attire. Inappropriate clothing (use of tank tops, short shorts, shirts and unacceptable logos) has been worn in the past, and a uniform policy will ensure that this no longer occurs.
- The weather conditions are such that for a number of months students arrive at school wearing T-shirts, shorts and sneakers and participate with the same clothes in P.E. classes. This phenomenon is very common among Middle School students and even though the P.E. teachers check the “change-out” policy daily, many students get away with not changing out. The use of P.E. garments will therefore eliminate this problem.
- ACS Athens is working hard to enhance its image both on campus and in the community, and having uniforms will help us to achieve this, at the same time adding to school spirit.
NOTE: If students have their uniforms from last year, they do not need to repurchase them.
Individual garments will be sold and the prices will be quoted in September.
