Pre-K & Kindergarten Dress Code

While we realize that the Bible does not specifically tell us how we should dress or how our hair should be cut, it does give us some principles to follow.

  • We should be modest — I Timothy 2:9, II Timothy 2:22
  • We should identify with the Lord and not with the world — I Timothy 4:12, Romans 12:1-2, I John 2:15-16

Our goals with our dress code:

  • Please the Lord
  • Provide a setting free from harm or distraction
  • Establish an environment that suggests a readiness for learning
  • Represent Northside Christian School to the community
  • Be as “parent-friendly” as possible

Pre-K and Kindergarten students are not required to wear the school uniform. Please dress your child in comfortable clothing that is modest and neat. We teach independence in Pre-K and Kindergarten, so please send your child to school in clothing that he/she can manipulate on his/her own. The children play outside on a mulch-covered playground for recess. Please send your child to school in closed-toed shoes. No sandals or flip-flops are permitted.

Boys & Girls May Wear:

Shirts: Short or long sleeve polo shirts, oxford, turtleneck, T-shirt with an appropriate logo may be worn.

Pants: Loose-fitting pants that are khaki, corduroy, denim or jeans, and sweat suit type materials may be worn. Shorts may be worn in hot weather. 

  • Girls: Tights or leggings are NOT considered pants and may only be worn under tunics or skirts.
  • Shorts must be at least mid-thigh and not excessively short or tight-fitting.

Sweaters/Sweatshirts: Sweatshirts with an appropriate logo may be worn.

Footwear: Closed-toe shoes with socks. No shoes with shoelaces, please!

Jumpers & Skirts: Girls, please wear shorts under all dresses or skirts. Make sure these garments come to the top of the knee.
