CIC has a uniform policy for two reasons. First, school uniform policy is mandated by Venezuelan law/practice. Second, a uniform policy assures that there are fewer distractions for the students in terms of less wasted time worrying about what to wear to school. These rules are discussed and shared with all CIC students at the beginning of each school year. This policy is posted in all classrooms and has been given to all students and parents. Although it is easy to comply with this policy, the school needs the parents’ and students’ support so that the adherence to the policy does not become an important concern at the school. Parents should check that their children have the required clothing and that they are wearing the correct uniform as they go to school in the morning. First period teachers will regularly check to see that their students are in compliance with our policy. Students will not be allowed in class unless they are properly dressed, and parents may be called to bring their children any needed clothing. Students must be in uniform from the time they enter campus in the morning until THEY LEAVE CAMPUS. Parents have the responsibility to ensure that their child wears the correct uniform.. ANY MISSED CLASSES DUE TO ARRIVING TO SCHOOL OUT OF UNIFORM WILL RESULT IN AN UNEXCUSED ABSENCE. School uniforms are sold at the School’s store in the canteen. The store is open in the early morning and during morning breaks. The Uniform policy for CIC students (at all times on the CIC campus) is: ;Pants and Skirts * Secondary students should wear solid colored, dark, navy blue full-length pants or knee-length or longer skirts. Blue jeans are not allowed. Skirts and pants should not be faded, or have holes, rips, or frayed bottoms. Capri pants and embroidered pants or skirts are not allowed for secondary students. Navy blue pants are available locally in school uniform stores such as the one in the Centro Commercial Galerias Los Naranjos. * Elementary students may wear solid colored, dark, navy blue shorts to school. Elementary girls may wear Capri pants. ;Shirts * CIC Polo shirts with the school insignia: ** Red (Pre-Nursery – Kindergarten); ** White (Grades 1-5) ** Blue (Grades 6-8) ** Beige (Grades 9-12) * The collar of the polo shirt must always be visible even when an outer sweatshirt, sweater, or jacket is worn.

The undershirt must not hang out beneath the polo shirt. ;Sweatshirts * The CIC sweatshirt or a solid navy blue (no design or writing) sweatshirt, sweater, or jacket may be worn.

Other non-uniform days may be approved and announced by the school administrators. All regular uniform rules still apply, but shirts and pants may be colors other than prescribed by our policy above.
