School Uniforms

The GICS uniform is required for all students and stands for pride in GICS and in oneself. Uniforms must be clean and in good repair. The students' uniforms are symbols of the school and should be treated as such.

The specific months in which one uniform or another should be worn are intended as guidelines. Except for those occasions when a particular uniform is required (such as school picture day), parents may make their own decisions as to which uniform makes the most sense given the current weather, and dress their children accordingly.

GICS has a summer uniform, a winter uniform, and a Gym uniform (to be worn all day of PE days).  There are also some occasions where children may be asked to wear a particular uniform, for example, wearing the winter uniform on school picture day.
