As you know effective September 2009 students will be required to wear a uniform shirt. The decision came with a lot of thought, and a lot of listening to the thoughts of parents and students. The major change is that now students will be required to wear one of two uniform shirts. They can either wear the Grey Gym T-Shirt, or the Burgundy Polo. The rest of how you dress is determined by the standard MAVAD dress code. An initial uniform package of 2 polo shirts, 1 gym shirt, and 1 pair of gym shorts cost $20. Additional shirts only cost $5. Our full implementation day is Monday, September 21 (meaning that students have until Friday, September 18 to purchase their uniform shirts). If you have question about this change please feel free to e-mail directly at RMassel@schools.nyc.gov.
Dear MAVAD Families,
As you all know, the beginning of the school year is right around the corner. We are looking forward to your return on the first day of school, Wednesday, September 9 at 8:10 am. You are to report to the 3rd floor gym where you will pick up your program card and begin your academic program. Wednesday, September 9 is an instructional school day. We expect you to arrive on time, and prepared for instruction with at least a notebook and a pen.
Effective in September, 2009 the Monroe Academy for Visual Arts & Design has adopted a stricter uniform/ dress code policy. By mid-September all students will be required to wear a uniform shirt and the remainder of the outfits appropriate to the Monroe Academy for Visual Art & Design’s dress code. Shirts and gym uniforms will be available for sale the first two weeks of school.
Be advised that the New York City Department of Education has a clear policy prohibiting cellular phones, head-gear (hats, do-rags etc.), CD Players, IPods, MP3 Players, DVD Players, GameBoys, other game systems, and all similar types of devices. At the Monroe Academy for Visual Arts there is a clear expectation that none of these items will be brought to school. If any of these items are brought to school they will be confiscated.
We all look forward to a safe, successful, and motivated school year.
