All students, kindergarten through fifth grade, at the Elementary Campus must wear the school uniform every day, unless instructed by the teacher to dress differently because of a special event or field trip. The purpose of the uniform code is to classify a standard of appearance that will encourage our students to bring glory to God (I Cor. 10:31). The uniform code is not intended to measure spirituality, but to serve as a tool to create an atmosphere free from distraction. There are several other important reasons why a uniform is required at NCS:
• Safety: Visitors on campus are noticed and students are more easily monitored on field trips.
• Economy measure for parents.
• Enhance school spirit.
• De-emphasize outward appearance and stress in its place the need for inner beauty and character development.
• Discipline: Teachers and administrators at NCS believe students are more self-controlled when in uniform.
The cooperation of the student and the parent is necessary in maintaining the standards of the uniform code. A student's appearance is a family responsibility. Therefore, any actions taken by NCS to enforce the uniform code will be primarily directed toward the parent(s), though such actions will, by necessity, impact the student himself. Uniform violations may be viewed on ParentsWeb under “Discipline”. Violations of the uniform code will be handled in the following manner:
• First three offenses – written warning and an attempt will be made by the school to provide appropriate clothing;
• Fourth offense and thereafter – parent must come and correct violation. Parents shall assume this important responsibility and leave the school free to focus on its primary goal – building Godly character and academic competence.
• If a student receives a hair violation, three school days will be allowed to correct it. If the correction is not made within three school days, ISS (In-school Suspension) will be assigned until the correction has been made.
