In the hopes that students may be able to return to campus soon, we wanted to share some important guidelines regarding school uniforms, particularly in the unique circumstances of this school year. We are excited to see students in the green and white again … it’s a sign school is back!
Uniforms have been on sale at school this past week by appointment, and will continue on Monday and Tuesday.
For attending school on campus, students must wear:
- the ISB polo shirt (green or white);
- for PE, the ISB PE shirt. MS students may only wear the PE shirt for PE. They need to change into the polo shirt for other classes;
- uniform shorts / pants / skirts purchased at the ISB Bookstore or shorts that look similar to the ISB uniform shorts in style and color. Logos, tears/rips, prominent stitching, etc., are not permitted. For the 2021-22 school year, students may also wear the ISB P.E. shorts (still with a school uniform polo shirt). Other branded sports shorts are not allowed. This is allowed to limit students’ time spent in the changing rooms.
- shoes must at all times. Only appropriate and safe footwear with heels lower than 4 cm or 1.5 inches are permitted. Single plug flip-flops, beach or sport sandals are not permitted.
For attending school virtually, students do not have to wear school uniform, but we continue to expect students to be dressed respectfully and appropriately for school (no pajamas, inappropriate clothing, etc.).
Below, we provide more details from the MS Student Handbook.
From the MS Student Handbook on Uniforms (page 10):
Our school uniform helps create a comfortable and focused learning environment and identifies you as part of the Middle School. It is a reflection of the seriousness of purpose for your academic experience. The uniform is also designed to be respectful to our multicultural community and our host country of Thailand. Unless otherwise stated, you need to wear your uniform for the entire school day.
Please keep the following in mind:
- All uniform shirts must be purchased at the ISB Bookstore.
- Students must wear uniform shorts / pants / skirts purchased at the ISB Bookstore or shorts that look similar to the ISB uniform shorts in style and color. Logos, tears/rips, prominent stitching, etc., are not permitted.
- You show respect for the school by wearing uniforms that fit properly, are clean and pressed with no holes, tears, frayed areas, or patches.
- School uniforms must be worn as purchased and should not be altered, modified, or rolled up.
- An ISB sweatshirt, hoodie, or pull-over (purchased at the ISB Bookstore) may be worn over an ISB uniform shirt. No commercial logos or designs are permitted.
- A solid white undershirt or white ISB t-shirt with no commercial logos or designs may be worn under your official ISB uniform polo shirt.
- For your safety, shoes must be worn at all times. Only appropriate and safe footwear with heels lower than 4 cm or 1.5 inches are permitted.
- Single plug flip-flops, beach or sport sandals are not permitted.
- In case of disagreements of what is acceptable uniform MS Administration makes the final decision.
- For the 2021-22 school year, students may wear ISB P.E. shorts with a school uniform shirt. Other branded sports shorts are not allowed.
