WHY DOES MONTGOMERY REQUIRE UNIFORMS?

Montgomery School believes strongly in the value of our students wearing uniforms to school. Across the country, more and more schools are adopting this approach, as it teaches the students to dress as part of the community, helps to diminish socio-economic differences between students, limits distractions and prepares them to come to school dressed to work and play hard. Students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade dress in the uniform appropriate for their grade level. The uniform is part of School policy. Occasional exceptions occur, such as certain field trips and “Drop the Dress Code” days. Students will be notified in advance when these exceptions apply. In all cases of student dress, the principle of neat and clean will apply; clothes must fit properly and not have holes, frayed edges, or obvious safety pins. Parents will be called and asked to bring a change of clothes if a student is not dressed appropriately. Students will be held accountable to be in uniform by faculty and administrators. Jewelry is limited to stud earrings, wristwatches and religious medals (tucked inside the shirt) and one bracelet per wrist, at the teacher’s discretion.

DRESS UP FRIDAYS

This is for chapel purposes, as the School gathers for all-School chapel every Friday morning, and on other special occasions. Middle School boys must wear a navy blazer and School tie with a white button-down dress shirt. Uniform shorts are acceptable during the warmer months (which will be defined at the discretion of the Middle School Head). In addition to the regular rules for shoes and socks, all Middle School girls must wear the Land's End pewter heather V-neck cardigan during the winter months, a white uniform shirt with school logo and a uniform skirt or skort . All Lower School students should wear white uniform shirts on Fridays.

On School photo days boys should be dressed in Dress Up Friday uniform attire (including long pants) and Lower School girls should wear their tunics (rather than the navy skort).

MIDDLE SCHOOL OUTERWEAR

At the discretion of the Middle School Head, Middle School students will be permitted to wear Montgomery sweatshirts and jackets on Thursdays, but on no other day will any type of sweatshirt, sweater or jacket be allowed aside from the sweaters and fleeces that are part of our uniform, as indicated on Landsend.com.
