Uniform & Dress Code Information

 

The most current and up-to-date 2023-2024 Travis Dress Code information can be found here.

 

Students are expected to come to school dressed according to the district/school’s dress code policy (see District Policy FNCA Local) and the attachment in the Appendix on Travis TAG Attire. If a student comes to school without the proper clothing, a phone call will be made to the parent/guardian to bring the appropriate clothes. Students will not be allowed in class until they change into the appropriate clothing. Clothing should be clean and free of permanent stains. Clothing should not be torn or damaged (torn jeans).

 

Every Friday of the month will be Spirit Day and every Monday will be College Tee Shirt Day.

 

All K-12th grade students in Dallas ISD are required to carry a clear or mesh backpack. Students may carry a small, nonclear pouch in their backpack to hold personal items, such as cellphones, money, and hygiene products. To support families, each student will be provided a durable clear backpack at no cost. Parents may also purchase the preferred clear backpack, or the acceptable mesh backpack, for their students.

The PTA's Spirit Store is open periodically throughout the year. Sales will be communicated on our home page and via our Wolftracks newsletter.

PE for 4-5 Grades

 

Vanguard (elementary) students DO NOT change for PE.

Academy (middle school) students will dress out for PE. Shirts are white crewneck (cotton or dry-fit) or the approved Gray Wolf shirts sold by PTA's Spirit Store. PE shorts and pants must be black. Black shorts may have a small, colored stripe on the side.

Many kids find it convenient to use a small gym bag that fits inside their regular backpack for PE clothes. The gym bag does NOT need to be clear.
