All carlines have green and red zones. 
Students may only enter and exit vehicles in the green zone.

Lower School families are welcome in the Chen Family Lower School for arrival and dismissal. Pre-Elementary families have access to classrooms, but access is restricted to the Lobby for Elementary (Grades 1 - 5) families. Photo ID is required.

A quick reference calendar containing school breaks and closures can be found here. The full school year calendar will be published on our Community Calendar page in July. 

All Lower School parents/caretakers will receive parking passes at Lower School Meet the Teacher and Supply Drop Off on August 10. These passes will be utilized during carline and dismissal procedures. Families may request additional passes for other authorized pick-up individuals at Meet the Teacher or throughout the school year by emailing registrar@isind.org. 

Every school year, student drivers must register their vehicle and purchase a new parking pass utilizing the form below. To register a vehicle, a student must provide vehicle information (including license plate, make, model, and color). Once the parking pass registration has been processed, a parking pass will be issued to the student. The cost of a student parking pass each year is $20, which is due with the online form submission. 

All passes are non transferable and parking is not prorated for student drivers who obtain a license later in the semester or school year. 

If a student brings a vehicle to campus other than the vehicles on the registration form, the school must be notified.

Students who are supplying, receiving or displaying improper permits will be subject to discipline.

DRESS CODE INFRACTIONS

Infractions of the high school dress code will be dealt with in accordance with the Upper School Behavior Management Policy and Guidelines.

HIGH SCHOOL DRESS CODE

Our school philosophy emphasizes individuals who value differences and are concerned for the well-being of others and are committed to demonstrating respect, responsibility, and effort. Our basic dress code is intended to encourage students to live these values in the context of a 3-year old to grade 12 learning environment that is diverse in nature. 

Students in Grades 9-12 do not wear a uniform but clothing must be suitable for all scheduled classroom activities. We will not interfere with the right of students and their parents to make decisions regarding their appearance, except when their choices:

• Present a hazard to the health or safety of the student or to others in the school;
• Interfere with school work;
• Promote behavior unsuitable for an ISI Gryphon, including anything illegal or disruptive
• Prevent the student from achieving their own educational objectives because of blocked vision or restricted movement.

In keeping with the above philosophy, and in order to reduce misunderstanding, inappropriate school wear includes, but is not limited to, the following:
The maintenance of common decency and classroom order requires adequate coverage of the person. Clothes must be worn in a way such that genitals, buttocks, torso and back are fully covered with opaque fabric. ISI is a 3-year old to grade 12 school and high school students are role models for our younger students.

Students Must Wear: 

• A garment (with fabric in the front, back and covering the torso)
• Pants, jeans, skirt, dress or the equivalent (e.g. sweatpants, leggings or shorts)
• Shoes that maintain health and safety, including requirements for special classes such as laboratories and physical education.

There is no list of dress and appearance guidelines for students that can be written that covers or anticipates all potential dress and grooming extremes. To this end, students in the high school cannot wear: 

• Clothing that is see through. 
• Any item that obscures the face (e.g. Hoodies, Caps). Religious head coverings are permitted. 
• Swim/Beachwear
• Clothing which advertises the use of alcohol, drugs, or other substances which, if used by a minor, would be illegal. 
• Clothing which advertises, promotes, suggests inappropriate ideas or behavior not conducive to a positive school climate or is disruptive to the educational functioning of the school. This includes promoting violence, gang affiliation, racially or sexually offensive messages or references. This also includes clothing which advertises, promotes, suggests inappropriate ideas or behavior not conducive to a positive school climate or is disruptive to the educational functioning of the school, via innuendo or double meaning.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION WEAR

• Students in Grades 9-10 are required to change clothing (shirts and shorts) and wear specific athletic shoes during Physical Education class. Students in grades 11 and 12 do not have PE class
• There is not a required gym uniform. However, students should have non-revealing leggings or shorts, t-shirts, and athletic shoes for Physical Education class. 
• If a student does not consistently have the correct change of clothing, the teacher contacts home and records a behavior note. 
• Coming prepared for PE is an important aspect of the class and affects the student effort grade.

DRESS CODE INFRACTIONS

Infractions of the high school dress code will be dealt with in accordance with the Upper School Behavior Management Policy and Guidelines.
