BFS Dress Code

BFS has a school uniform, which reflects the style of smart/casual attire found in the United States.  Our policy is based on the beliefs that the school uniform:

• promotes a sense of pride, community, inclusion, and belonging in our school;
• identifies our students with the school using a cohesive image;
• prevents students from wearing ‘fashion clothes’ that could be distracting or promote competition; and
• is practical and designed with health and safety in mind.

The required BFS uniform items are:

• All Grades – Every Day:

  • Navy polo shirt (long or short sleeve)
  • Khaki pants/shorts or plaid skirt/jumper
  • Shark hoodie(optional)

• High School – Formal Days:

  • Blazer
  • White Oxford shirt
  • Khaki pants or plaid skirt/jumper

Please note the following:

• Official BFS school uniforms are to be worn Monday through Thursday.

• Friday (or the last day of a working week) is a casual day, and students may choose to wear their uniform or appropriate casual clothing. The last day of school is also a casual day.

• Students should not wear low necklines, spaghetti straps, bare midriff or halter-tops.

• Skirts or shorts should be longer than 2 inches (5 cm) above the knee.

• The use of hats inside the school is not allowed.

• Hoodies or jackets from BFS sports or activities are not considered part of the uniform.

• Students may not wear open-toed shoes or sandals, including Fridays.

• Students may not cover their uniforms with non-BFS jackets or coats in the classroom. In cold weather students must wear their school regulation navy blue sweaters or the approved cardigans/hoodie. If they are still cold, they may put a BFS Shark hoodie or BFS uniform logo jacket over their sweater or cardigan.

• All Elementary students are also required to purchase BFS P.E. attire to wear on P.E. days (including Fridays).

• Middle and High School students enrolled in P.E. courses must purchase BFS P.E. attire to wear during P.E. class only.

• Proper sports shoes that have laces and good ankle and arch support are also required for P.E.
