Park East Dress Code Policy 2024-25 (updated 8/30/2024)
Park East High School is one of many DOE schools that have adopted school uniforms. In order to maintain a positive learning environment, it is expected that Park East students dress in a professional manner. We expect Park East students to be dressed appropriately to ensure safety and to keep the focus on teaching and learning. We would like all parents and guardians to remind students of proper dress protocols on campus. The school uniform is intended to develop a sense of pride and enhance our cohesiveness as a community. Students must be in full uniform to attend classes and remain in full uniform throughout the day.
