Alfred I. duPont Middle School International Business & World Language Academy is committed to providing a safe and structured learning environment. During the 2015-16 school year, our school began requiring students to wear school uniforms. It is expected that your child attends school every day and arrive in complete uniform.

*MANDATORY SCHOOL UNIFORMS

*CLEAR OR MESH BACKPACKS ONLY

The uniform policy in effect for the 2025-2026 school year consists of the following:

Students are required to purchase the school uniform from our approved vendor (approved vendor listed below).

It is mandatory for all students to wear the appropriate grade level embroidered school logo color: 6th Grade-Black, 7th Grade-White, and 8th Grade-Green and polo/golf style shirt with a collar.

A plain collared shirt in the appropriate color MAY NOT be worn in place of the uniform logo shirt.

• All shirts must be tucked in at all times.

• No T-Shirts

• Khaki or black pants or shorts for both girls and boys. Khaki or black skirts for girls are acceptable as well. All pants, shorts and skirts are to be plain in design. Pants, shorts and skirts must adhere to the DCPS Code of Appearance and must be acceptable as deemed by school administration.

• Pants and shorts with belt loops must have a belt worn at the appropriate waist location. All pants, shorts, and skirts must fit at the waist and be worn at that level.

• NO jeans or jean material. NO leggings or jeggings. NO athletic shorts or pants.

• NO hats/baseball caps on campus. Plain long sleeve shirts (black or white) may be worn underneath polo shirts in cold weather. Jackets may NOT have a hood (per the Secondary Code of Conduct).

• Logo jackets are available from the school’s uniform vendor.

• Logo sweatshirts are available from the school’s uniform vendor.

• Shoes must be closed toed and have a full back. No sandals, crocs, slides, flip flops, or heels are allowed.

Parents, we are asking for your assistance in ensuring that all students are in “full compliance” of the uniform policy. STRICT attention and monitoring will be paid to the policy specifically outlined above. There is no opt out policy regarding the school uniform. We have contracted with a local vendor, RC Uniforms, to supply uniform shirts, sweatshirts and jackets with our school logo embroidered on them.
