I Corinthians 10:31 tells us to do “all to the glory of God.” In today’s society, this command has special reference to the fact that God may be honored or dishonored by our personal dress and grooming. In dress, as well as doctrine, the Christian is to “Test all things, hold fast what is good, abstain from every form of evil.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21,22) The Christian is to have regard for things that are “pure…of good report…of virtue…and praise.”
Philippians 4:8
We believe that these commands have practical applications to the dress and grooming of students. That is, a student’s personal dress and grooming should not bring unnecessary attention to him or her.
Northpoint Christian School students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through 12th Grade are required to wear clothing purchased through Dennis Uniforms. This includes tops, shirts, blouses, pants*, shorts*, skirts, and outerwear. Please see the Dennis School Uniform Brochure for clothing specifics. The school code is MTNPCS.

The PTSF offers a Uniform Consignment Store where parents may purchase slightly used uniforms and sell uniforms. We will publicize the “take in dates” as they are scheduled. During the school year, there will be special dress days (i.e. homecoming, field trips, etc.). All students who participate in that day are expected to dress within the guidelines set forth for these days and should adhere to the spirit of the dress code and the philosophy of Northpoint Christian School. In addition to the approved clothing purchased from Dennis School Uniforms, you may wear spirit-wear that is purchased from the Northpoint Christian School Booster Club. Further, certain approved articles of clothing related to a student’s sports team, band, or approved team apparel may be worn. Students in PK, JK and SK are allowed to wear NCS t-shirts sold in the Spirit Wear Store.
Since no dress code can address every issue, fad, or style that may arise; the final authority for clarifying any issue concerning personal dress and grooming rests with the Administration. In this regard, parents are responsible to send their children to school with correct personal dress and grooming.
*Boys shorts and pants may be purchased at other vendors. The pants and shorts must be uniform style, plain or pleated front in khaki or navy. No cargo shorts or pants, no athletic shorts or pants, no jean shorts are allowed. Collard shirts must be purchased from Dennis Uniform or the NCS Consignment Store.
