DP. That's why the principal sent out an email? Really?

+1, kids always try to create days to coordinate outfits and then try to get others to follow.

OP, was there a designer/brand day and the principal stepped in and corrected it? Or it was always casual and comfortable day and some kids tried to coordinate with others to wear designer clothes?

OP refuses to clarify so I call troll.

What middle schooler even participates in spirit day?

Lots of kids do, but OP is blowing it all out of proportion. Seems like the principal handled it appropriately, whether the message was a clarification or actually walking back what an earlier communication had suggested.

Don’t kids wear casual clothes to school everyday in public schools?

My guess is that it used to be a pj day but the idea of summer pjs was too risky.

What actually happened: It's sportswear/athletic attire day. Kids started talking about wearing their Lululemon, UnderArmour, etc., then other kids started talking about fancier designer labels they were going to wear, and yet other kids thought this meant it was supposed to be designer sportswear day and this is what got relayed back to parents. Parents called and complained to the office and the principal had to send out a message explaining that no, it's just sportswear/athletic attire day.

Which is stupid, by the way, because that's basically very day.

OR it was "look your best" which kids interpreted to mean "wear your most expensive clothes".

" We will be on the lookout for any outfit that doesn’t represent us well."

What does that even mean?

Why do so many administrators create more confusion, when their job is coordinate and inform?
