Procedures for Ordering Letter Jackets and Letters
Aldine ISD awards letter jackets and letters to eligible students. Any additional purchases are the
responsibility of the student.
1. At the beginning of the school year, with the vendor, sizing dates will be scheduled. These
dates will be publicized through the office of the director of athletics and the executive
director of curriculum and instruction.
2. A list(s) of eligible students are submitted by the sponsor to the designated campus
administrator who will cross reference each list with the campus data base to ensure
students receive only one letter jacket. The revised list will be returned to the coach or
sponsor.
3. The coach or sponsor sends a copy of the list of eligible students for jackets and/or letters to
the appropriate program director or director for final verification that students have met all
requirements.
4. The director/program director sends the completed vendor forms listing eligible students
along with the ordering packet and date(s) of sizing to the coach, sponsor, or designated
campus administrator.
5. The coach or sponsor provides all eligible students with the ordering packet along with the
date and time of the sizing no less than 5 school days prior to the sizing date.
6. The vendor collects the appropriate forms from the coach or sponsor on the sizing date,
verifying the students to be fitted. Students must provide payment to the vendor for the
extra patches/emblems at the time of sizing.
7. Upon completion of sizing and orders taken for all high schools, the vendor processes and
delivers the orders to the appropriate program director, director, or executive director
responsible for paying for the jackets and awards.
