UHMS Uniform Edition
Uplift Hampton Middle School November 22, 2019
"Be Committed, Be Consistent, Be Courageous"
Winter Uniform Reset-beginning Monday, December 2nd!
Hello Phoenix Families,
As we wind down from a plethora of dress down opportunities these past couple of months, ranging from Red Ribbon Week, dress down passes, and other dress down opportunities, we are now in need of resetting expectations regarding our middle school campus with uniform accountability sweeps.
Scholars who are in non-correctable uniform violations will be assigned a detention and a parent phone call. Scholars with correctable uniform violations will be issued demerits, which could accrue to an assigned detention.
Please note that with inclement weather, scholars should purchase or acquire sweaters and/or jackets that align with our acceptable outerwear dress code. Please forward all questions regarding the dress code reset to the dean for your child's grade level.
Best,
Uplift Hampton Middle School Administration Team
Professional Dress Mondays
On Mondays, ALL middle school scholars should be in professional business dress attire.
Professional Business Attire Expectations
- White Oxford button-up shirt
- Solid black or navy tie
- Solid white or black undershirt (or cami)
- Navy or black uniform pants
- Navy or black socks w/pants
- Solid black belt
Shoes
We are fairly flexible with scholar shoe choice, so long as it is a "shoe" (not sandals, flip flops, house shoes, etc.); however, boots are NOT allowed to be worn and scholars are NOT allowed to wear shoes with black soles due to the increased costliness of cleaning floors (black scuff marks).
Professional Business Dress Variances
- Tie may be plaid criss-cross in lieu of solid navy or black tie
- Navy or black uniform skirt may be worn in lie of navy or black dress pants
- White or navy knee-high socks w/skirt
Business Casual Dress Code Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
College Shirt with Uniform Bottom Wednesday
Hampton Spirit Shirt with Uniform Bottom Fridays
Shorts are NOT included as part of the uniform after Fall Break until after Spring Break
Approved Outerwear
For example, scholars cannot wear a sweater or jacket in lieu of either their white Oxford or appropriate grade level polo. The collar from the white Oxford or polo should still be visible when scholars are wearing approved outerwear.
Any unapproved outerwear worn within the building premises may be confiscated by a teacher and/or administrator. Initial collection of such items may be picked up at the end of the school day; however, multiple infractions may lead to escalated consequences including, but not limited to: demerits, referrals, detentions, suspensions, and confiscation of outwear requiring parent pickup.

- Shoes must be worn at all times
- Scholars may wear shorts, and meet the following standards: 1) must be loose fitting, no biking shorts, cutoffs, boxer shorts, or combination thereof. 2) must be hemmed or cuffed, and 3) length must be to the fingertips or longer of the scholar.
