Uniform/Defined Dress Code
What is a Defined Dress Code (DDC)?
BMA has adopted what we call a Defined Dress Code (DDC), which applies to Edison Hall during school hours on school days. During classes and while in Edison Hall, students are required to be in DDC. DDC includes short and long-sleeve polo shirts in a variety of colors, long-sleeve Oxford shirts, jackets, and V-neck sweaters and vests. All these items are embroidered with the BMA logo. DDC also includes pants, skirts, and shorts. Acceptable shoe styles for school dress are casual dress shoes, tennis shoes, and sandals with a heel strap (no flip flops or slides).
Blue Mountain Academy’s Defined Dress Code (DDC/Uniform) is neat, clean and modest.
Polos/Oxford Shirts
Polo/Oxford shirts from Schoolbelles with the BMA logo are the required school shirts and must be worn as the outer layer. They are available in a variety of colors in short or long sleeves. A plain long-sleeve shirt may be worn underneath.
Jackets/V-Neck Sweaters/Vests
Jackets/V-Neck Sweaters/Vests from Schoolbelles with the BMA logo can be worn over DDC polos/Oxford Shirts and are acceptable in Edison Hall as the outer layer. Hoodies, sweatshirts, and non-schoolbelles jackets/coats are not acceptable as school dress.
Pants/Shorts/Skirts
Pants/Shorts/Skirts from Schoolbelles or the store of your choice are acceptable in Edison Hall. Jeans, sweatpants, cargo pants, leggings, and pajamas are not considered school dress.
Ad Building School Attire (DDC) Alternatives:
During the cooler months of the school year, a short-sleeve DDC polo shirt from Schoolbelles may not be enough to keep your child warm in the ad building during school hours.
There are several acceptable options to help keep your child warm:
Purchase long-sleeve DDC polo shirts from Schoolbelles.
Wear Under Armor, thermals, turtlenecks, long-sleeve shirt, etc. UNDER the BMA DDC polo shirt.
Purchase the BMA DDC jacket (embroidered first name is optional).
Hoodies are NOT acceptable under DDC polos
Students are allowed to wear a winter coat to the ad building but are asked to store it in their locker during school hours.
