Uniform Policy & Order Form

Park East High School is one of many DOE schools that have adopted school uniforms. The school uniform is intended to develop a sense of school pride and make sure that students’ appearance does not cause a distraction or constitute a threat to anyone’s health or safety. Students must be in full uniform  in order to attend classes and must remain in full uniform throughout the day. 

The uniform consists of:

  • Park East logo polo (short-sleeved), Park East logo crew neck shirt (long-sleeved), Park East T-shirt, or East Harlem Pride T-shirt.
  • Park East logo hoodie or quarter-zip fleece OR solid-colored gray, navy blue, black, or white zip-up hoodie or cardigan sweater. (Note that non-Park East layers must be open to show the Park East uniform shirt underneath.)
  • Blue, khaki (beige), gray, or black pants/cargo pants, shorts, or skirt; or PE sweatpants only.
  • Regular shoes, sneakers, or Crocs, in any color and with any design.
  • Seniors ONLY may wear college hoodies.

Keep in mind that:

  • Jean jackets and coats are allowed on top of a visible uniform shirt.
  • Undershirts must be solid navy blue or white.
  • Skirts, dresses, and shorts must be at least fingertip length.
  • Pants must fit around the waist – no oversized, sagging pants. No visible underwear.
