Greetings Parents,
We are excited to announce Archway Arete’s Field Day, which will take place on Thursday, March 12th. Field Day activities will be based on the original Olympic Games in Ancient Greece, events will be held for half of the school day. Each class’s team name will be an ancient Greek city-state. 3C’s team name will be Crete, this is our class shield:
Students are invited to come to school in athletic wear for the day, students are welcome to decorate their shirts with their team’s shield, but this is not required. Students will be eating lunch in their class room on Field Day, please send sack lunches only, no food that needs to be microwaved. Thank you so much for your understanding. I’m including the school’s guidelines on the athletic wear students are able to wear for the day. Please do reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
Non-uniform Dress Code for Special Events Athletic Practice and Outdoor Field Day Dress Code Just as Archway provides guidelines for dress code in the classroom, it is important to project the image of professionalism in our athletic attire as well. All shirts worn for athletic practices and field day should be modest, loose fitting, in good repair (no holes, torn sleeves, etc.), should be worn either tucked in or well over the waist of the pants/shorts if not tucked in. No midriffs may be shown. T-shirts are preferred – no tank tops, camisoles, or sports bras may be worn as outer garments. Short should be modest, in good repair (no holes, torn sleeves, etc.). Shorts should be worn at the waist and should be no shorter than mid-thigh, and no-longer than just below the knee. No short-shorts or long baggy shorts may be worn. No undergarments may be visible. Shorts should be longer than the student’s fingertips when standing. Tennis skirts, Soffe shorts, and other similar items are no permitted. Attire should be free of logos and messages, with the following exceptions: sports team logos (e.g., Diamondbacks, Bears, ASU), and apparel brand names (e.g., Adidas, Nike, Abercrombie) are acceptable provided they do not make inappropriate allusions (as do some skateboarding/snowboarding brands). These guidelines also apply to sweatshirts and jackets that students may wear. Footwear should be athletic in nature: no sandals, open-toed, or platform shoes. Hats and sunscreen may be appropriate if the students will be in the sun.
Best,
Michael Naaktgeboren
