The dress code grants leeway to the principal in the interpretation of specific rules and regulations. Dress code is an important part of our philosophy. Pants must fit the waistline and not sag in the crotch. The cuff of the pants must be hemmed and may not touch the ground. Pants may not be so large that the shoelaces cannot be seen. Pants may not be excessively tight. Sweatpants, and nylon warm-ups, are not allowed. No logos on any pants. No denim. No holes or tears. Pants must be a solid color of khaki (tan or green) navy blue, or black.
Shorts must fit at the waistline and not sag in the crotch. No denim. No holes or tears. The cuff of the shorts must be hemmed and must be of a modest length. Spandex or tightly fitting shorts are not allowed. No logos on any shorts. Shorts must be a solid color of khaki (tan or green) navy blue, or black.
Skirts and skorts must fit the waistline and may not be excessively tight. Skirts and skorts must be of modest length and may not touch the ground. No logos on any skirts or skorts. Skirts and skorts must be a solid color of khaki (tan, or green) navy blue, or black.
Shirts, sweatshirts and sweaters must be a solid color of hunter green, navy blue, gray or white must have the Bromley East logo. No spaghetti straps or strapless shirts. The logo must be on the upper left of the shirt and must be permanently affixed. Shirts, sweatshirts, and sweaters may not be excessively tight or baggy. Hooded sweatshirts with the school logo may be worn in the classroom; but the hoods must remain off the head.
All articles of clothing should appear neat, clean and in good condition and repair. Dress will not be worn that causes or is likely to cause disruption of the educational process.
Apparel advertising tobacco, alcohol, illegal substances, and/or offensive slogans are not acceptable attire at school-sponsored activities. Clothes making statements with sexual innuendoes are not allowed.
The wearing of clothing, jewelry or a style of grooming that is identified with membership in a gang will not be tolerated in school or at any school sponsored activity. Apparel that interferes with or endangers self or others while participating in school or school sponsored activities is not allowed.
Hats and sunglasses may only be worn or seen before or after school hours. No hats or sunglasses in class. Hats include visors and bandannas.
Outerwear and boots that are worn for warmth to and from school and at outside recess cannot be worn in the classroom.
Shoes must be worn at all times. With the exception of some Montessori classes, no slippers are allowed. No beach shoes, flip flops, or roller shoes. Open-toed shoes can be a hazard. Based on this fact, these shoes are not to be worn to school. To receive an exemption regarding footwear, the student must present a signed letter from a medical doctor.
Belts are not required, but if worn, belt ends are to be no longer than 6” and tucked in. Belts must be leather or fabric with plain buckles.
No undergarments may show at any time, nor should they be worn as outer garments. Undershirts are only acceptable if worn under the appropriate dress code shirt. Any shirts worn under the uniform shirt must be a solid color of white, gray, blue, or hunter green.
Hair must be clean, neat and styled traditionally. Only natural colors are allowed. No radical hairstyles.
Makeup must look natural. Black nail polish and lipstick is not acceptable. Modest jewelry is allowed. An object that has a purpose other than jewelry cannot be worn as jewelry (i.e. bicycle chains or collars). No more than two necklaces may be worn at one time. Earrings will be limited to two per ear and may not pose a safety hazard (no dangling or hoop style).
Tattoos must be covered at all times. Jewelry may not be worn in a piercing besides the ear. No body art defined as drawing on the skin made by the student with a writing utensil is permitted.
School sponsored activities and special events may have specific guidelines concerning appropriate dress.
Final decisions with respect to the dress code are made at the discretion of the principal, or his/her designee, including items not specifically referred to in the above policy. The Principal or his/her designee must approve any exception to this code due to a medical or religious reason.
Compliance with the dress code is mandatory. Dress Code violations will involve a phone call to the parent, and may result in the parent bringing appropriate dress to the school. The student will remain in the office in In-School-Suspension until the child is in compliance with dress code.
