Spirit Friday Dress
A friendly reminder regarding our updated approach to staff dress on Fridays.
Because we have such a high number of parents and visitors on-campus each Friday and because we typically have House and/or athletic events on these days, the idea is that staff choose to wear NIS tops, work-appropriate jeans, and clean trainers as a way to promote school spirit and a united aesthetic. The other option on Fridays is simply to wear regular Monday-Thursday attire. Our dress expectations from the Personal Handbook are here as a reference point as well. Many thanks!
