Bostic Traditional Magnet

Standardized Dress Code

Revised 09-05-2006

The school colors of red, white, and blue are incorporated with several options for students and parents. After a great deal of research, we believe that the choice that we have made is both cost-effective and increases convenience for parents in that the items are easily available.  If you are concerned about the cost factor, please contact the principal so that options may be discussed. Bostic remains a school for all students. We will ensure that everyone has access to the uniform.

Shirt options:

Style:  Long sleeve or short sleeve polo with collar, or white oxford style with collar, or plain white button up blouse with plain solid white collar.

Color:  White or Red polo shirts

         White oxford style shirt

         White button up blouse with solid white collar

         Red shirts must be a “true red” color.

• Sweaters may be worn over a collared shirt and may be either navy or white solid colors with no patterns, emblems, or labels of any kind displayed on the outside of the sweater.  Sweater style is up to parent discretion (ie. cardigan, sweater vest, pull-over sweater). 
• Official Bostic logo sweatshirts purchased from PTO may also be worn.
• A white turtleneck may be worn under a sweatshirt, sweater, or jumper.

• A white turtleneck or shirt with collar must be worn under sweatshirts.
• Bostic’s PTO purchases and sells red and white Bostic logo shirts at reasonable prices throughout the year.

Uniform options:

Style:  Jumper-style dress, skirt, skort, tailored shorts, or tailored straight leg pants.

Color:  Navy blue

Misc.:  Socks or tights may be worn in solid colors of red, white, or blue.

         Scout uniforms may be worn on troop / den meeting days.

 All items may be purchased anywhere such as Penney’s, Sears, Target, Wal-Mart, Kohl’s, etc.  Items not included in the uniform and left to parent’s discretion are:  backpacks, school supplies, lunch boxes, winter coats, belts, shoes, and hair accessories.

Restrictions: 

• No printing or logo on the clothing, other than the Bostic logo
• No jeans, sweats, corduroys, leggings, capri pants, cargo shorts, or cargo pants
• No extreme hairstyles, makeup or tattoos.

Requirements:

• Shirts must be tucked in
• Clothing should be neat and clean, and of proper length and size
• Shoes are required.

It is the parents’ responsibility to mark all articles of clothing with the student’s name.  Uniforms will be next to impossible to identify without the child’s name written in an inconspicuous location.  Teachers will not be responsible for lost articles of clothing that have not been marked with the child’s name. The principal may grant occasional exceptions to the Dress Code for special days or circumstances.
