Duofold Fleece:
They are really warm. They will work OK on the top layer but are not flexible enough for the bottom layer for cycling. For walking around they are good. But you might get too hot in them when you go inside. If it's really cold and you don't have to stay inside for more than an hour at a time you might be OK. For walking around under jeans at 0 F they will be good.
I would suggest just getting the bottoms and using other more easy to remove layers on top. Start with a breathable short sleeve shirt on top. That way when you go inside if your legs are a little warm you can cool off as much as possible on top. Just wear a lightweight polar fleece jacket under your parka to add warmth when outside and to give you a light thing to wear on the top when inside if you get cold.
This simple setup works really well for walking around at school in cold temps. Fleece long johns under jeans. Wool socks and boots. Short sleeve lightweight breathable shirt. Long sleeve zip front fleece jacket. Main parka or coat. Gloves and hat as necessary.
Good luck at school.
