UNIFORM POLICY

2024-2025 School Year

 

Why We Wear Uniform

Bronx River High School is a uniform school and students are expected to be in uniform everyday for the entire day.  Wearing uniform builds a sense of community within our school.  It promotes unity and school spirit, creating a safer environment.  Uniform helps remove the barriers and distractions brought on by materialistic belongings and directs our students to focus fully on their academic achievements and overall performance. 

Uniforms are available for purchase year-round at the school.

If a student does not wear their uniform, they should report to Room 400 to receive a loaner uniform for the day. Loaners are washed after every use.

There are certain occasions throughout the year that students will have a dress down day when they do not have to wear the uniform.  Everyday, including dress down days, students’ clothing must cover all undergarments and private parts; students are not permitted to wear clothing with profanity, or with words or pictures that depict sexual acts, drug or alcohol use, weapons,  violence, or violate the DOE policy on harassment.
