iPlanets Academy
DAILY LIST
All children at iPLANETS ACADEMY must have these items DAILY. The children will go outside daily unless extreme weather conditions exist, so it’s important that each child is dressed according to the weather.
No child will be allowed to come without having their proper items to participate in daily activities.
​
Failure to maintain necessary items may result in being reported for neglect or termination of enrollment:
​
-
Every child will need 2 pairs of socks at any given time. All socks need to be clearly labeled with your child's name on each individual sock. All socks need to be inside of a Zip lock bag for accessibility and to try and keep them all together. Check daily to ensure your child has the correct amount of socks at all times.
-
Each parent shall provide hand sanitizer, first aid kit, baby wipes, Q-Tips, disposable gloves, and Kleenex to be kept in their cubbies to be used as needed.
-
Rainy gear (boots, umbrellas, parkas, etc.) is to be kept in their cubbies at all times in case of unexpected weather changes. All must be solid black.
-
We ask that you bring a covered toothbrush, toothpaste, flossers, mouth rinse, and small dixie cups for them. Please put them in a labeled zip lock bag that is easy for them to access and store in their personal cubbies. iPLANETS ACADEMY believes that Dental Hygiene is VERY IMPORTANT for the overall well being of your child. It starts with nutritious meals, regular check-ups with the dentist, choosing age-appropriate effective apparatus for your child to brush their teeth with, and modeling good dental habits. We will encourage your child to brush their teeth after every meal and after rest times.
-
All children must purchase and keep on hand a water bottle so the children can consume water daily. The children may not share water bottles. Empty bottles should on a regular basis be recycled (if appropriate), discarded, or taken home for sanitized reuse. Water bottles may not contain flavored water or juice. To prevent spills on class work, please only send water bottles with a pop open top and not the twist open top. This should help keep our work space spill-free if a water bottle is accidentally bumped.
-
A complete uniform stored in their cubbies. ​All items need to be laundered every week or more often if needed.
-
(2) Face Masks. Use well-fitting cloth masks with two or more layers of tightly woven, breathable fabric, or disposable masks.
-
All girls 9-13 years old need to have panty liners and an extra pair of underwear stored in their cubbies in a zip lock bag whether they have started their Menstruation or not, since it can't be predicted when it shall begin. Keep in mind that they will be learning about all systems in the body including the reproductive system during the beginning of the year. We will at that time discuss with all the children, boys included, about this process. So if you have not discussed this with your child, now may be the time to do that.
-
If your child requires it, you must provide a car seat or booster seat for their safety.
​
In addition to the daily list all OVERNIGHT children shall have on hand at all times stored in their cubbies:
​
-
2 Clean Dry Personal Wash Clothes (clearly labeled)
-
2 Hand towels to dry off (clearly labeled)
-
2 Pairs of underwear and white Tees (clearly labeled)
-
1 Comfortable pair of Pajamas. (clearly labeled)
-
1 Bottle of body wash
​
iPLANETS ACADEMY does not allow full baths unless the child is extremely dirty, muddy, for medical reasons, we are out of town on an overnight trip, or they are boarding with us. All children shall use their personal wash clothes and body wash to wipe themselves down. Please encourage them to wipe as much of their bodies as they can. Take the time to teach your daughters and sons how to properly do this. They will then change into their Pajamas in the privacy of the bathrooms.
​
Assistance will be given only when absolutely necessary and can not be ongoing. Two children are NEVER allowed in the bathroom at the same time AT iPLANETS ACADEMY, NO EXCEPTIONS! Boys are required to use their designated bathroom and Girls are required to use theirs. We require all children to be self-sufficient. ​If an overnight child is here for any portion of time before 7:30 PM-8:00 PM then they shall be dropped off in full uniform (except on Saturdays) and will change at the appropriate time. If your child is being dropped off at 8:00 PM, we ask that you already bring them bathed and in their pajamas unless there is a nighttime event scheduled. They would still need the above supplies in their cubbies at all times just in case.
UNIFORMS
iPLANETS ACADEMY has a strict uniform dress code for all children. The uniform is worn everyday unless otherwise specified.​ They are to be in full uniform from when they enter until they leave for dismissal. All children are expected to be in FULL uniform on their first day of class.
​
iPLANETS ACADEMY strives to ensure each uniform is in conformity with the illustrative pictures below. Uniforms may be deemed unacceptable if it's not the exact match as shown below. If we find a uniform unacceptable or if you are a new student you will have eight (8) days grace period from the time you become aware of the infraction or from the time they enroll to purchase their uniforms and come into compliance. After the eight days have lapsed, your child will not be able to return until they can return in full uniform. All uniforms once purchased will be brought to iPLANETS ACADEMY to be altered with fringes. Fringes will be put on the boys uniform shirts and fringes will be applied to the bottom of the girls jumpers/skirts.
​
No credits or refunds will be given for unused, sick, or vacation days. If your child has not returned within 4 days they will be dropped and terminated and must pay the annual membership dues again in order to return. Their spot is not guaranteed in this case and can be filled. ​

We believe that a higher standard of dress encourages greater respect for individuals, our children, and others.
It gives our children a sense of belonging and pride in themselves and the school and results in a higher standard of behavior. We have found that students learn best when given the freedom to focus their attention on academics and those aspects of character that are truly important.
Why we have uniforms:
​
-
Help children excel academically
-
Helps to lessen the impact of socioeconomic differences which subsequently reduces peer pressure and bullying.
-
Have been proven to minimize disruptive behavior and inspire appropriate behavior.
-
Promotes respect for oneself and others
-
Enhances school pride, unity, and community spirit.
-
Helps us to easily to identify the children while on field trips
-
Uniforms can make life easier for parents
-
Can save parents money.
-
School uniforms make getting ready for school easier, which can improve punctuality
-
Helps to keep the children focused on their education, not their clothes.
Our children are expected to dress in a neat, respectful fashion. Each uniform is to be clean, ironed, properly fitted (to avoid ANY sagging or sloppy appearance), and not too tight but suitable for the learning environment reflecting pride in themselves and in iPLANETS ACADEMY.
All children will be neatly groomed and dressed and will keep their hair neat and clean. Neatly groomed and dressed shall be defined as dress and grooming that is standard and conforms to the illustrative pictures provided.
No manufacturers’ logos larger than 1½ by 1½ inches of any kind are allowed. ​All uniforms must be worn without tears, rips, not faded or cutting of hems. Pants are worn at the waist and they must wear a belt at all times. Shirts must be tucked in appropriately. No items will be knotted around the waist.
They must have an extra complete uniform stored in their cubbies. ​All items need to be laundered every week or more often if needed. ​ It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure compliance with the Uniform dress code.
Although we do not discriminate against any religion. No child shall be given special treatment or consideration when it comes to the uniform policy.
If a child can not wear the uniforms, iPLANETS ACADEMY is not the right fit for your family. Decisions about the suitability of an individual style are the responsibility of
iPLANETS ACADEMY, whose decision will be final.
