Check back daily for tutorial/guide videos for IDEA’s academic resources!
IDEA Public Schools’ attendance goal is 97.5% average daily attendance (ADA). Attendance will be tracked by online engagements within Teams, in-person learning, or via the submission of instructional assignments. Attendance will be taken daily at 8:30 am in Texas and 8:45 am in Louisiana.
Professional, color-coded school uniforms help students focus on what matters most at school—learning!
We believe that school uniforms have a beneficial impact on students’ self-esteem, attendance, graduation rates, and discipline. Uniforms eliminate unnecessary distractions (such as who has the coolest tennis shoes), and ensure students’ focus remains on academic success. Uniforms are an important part of the IDEA culture.
Click on your scholars’ region and download the uniform guide to learn more about what your scholar should be wearing to school and where to purchase it:
IDEA scholars who are engaged in distance learning and attending school online should wear their branded IDEA polo shirt Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, scholars may wear a t-shirt with the college of their choice.
Below you will find school supplies lists, organized by campus. Lists will be posted here as they are provided by each campus, so be sure to check back soon if you don’t see your list yet! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your campus for any questions or concerns you may have.
