| Is it school specific? I assume just shirt and shorts? Where do you buy it? |

| It's usually sold to 6th graders on orientation day. |

| Kids can wear their own t shirt and shorts. |

| It's usually a uniform you have to buy from the school. |

| Our mcps middle sells clothes but also alows kids to wear their own (black/navy shorts, white/gray shirts with minimal writing on them). |

| Officially our school (jw) says you need the uniform or solid shorts and tops in school colors. In reality you can wear any shorts/T-shirt. |

If you wear an athletic tshirt and shorts to school, do you have to change? |

Please encourage your child to change clothing between gym and academic classes. Also to wear deodorant. --7th grade teacher |

At our MS you had to change. |

| Some MS require you to change clothes for gym and have specific color combinations (most all say no logos except for the school's). |

| At our middle school you didn't have to change and DS never changed as he wore running pants or shorts on PE days. No colors needed either. |

| If the kids change, how often do they bring the gym clothes home? |

| If kids have PE last class of day, most wear PE clothes home(the ones that choose to change) |

| At Tilden they have color requirements -- we just went with those once DS outgrew his Tilden-specific gym clothes. Plain grey t-shirt and blue mesh athletic shorts. Theoretically DS takes clean gym clothes to school on Monday and brings them home Friday to be washed. He's a young 13 so hasn't gotten smelly yet -- if he forgot the clothes at school it wasn't the end of the world -- and it also seemed like the kids were not so super-active they were working up a sweat every day (unfortunately). I did send him with non-scented deodorant to put on before gym class. But it was still my strong preference that he bring the clothes home weekly for washing. There wouldn't be anything preventing you from asking your kid to bring the clothes home for washing more frequently though. |
