Please note that we will not have Formal Dress Days during the 2020-21 academic school year. 
In establishing a dress code for its students, North Cross School encourages a high standard of appearance so students may
take pride in themselves and our school, and so that eccentricities of dress do not become a distraction from their work
each day. The dress code is also intended to minimize extravagances and competition in dress. Furthermore, the school
tries to teach students that different attire is appropriate for different occasions and events. In general, students should be
neat, clean, and well-groomed, and should wear clothes that are clean, well-pressed, properly fitting, and in good repair.
Students are expected to adhere to the dress code from their arrival at school until the end of the school day, unless
otherwise instructed. The dress code is a feature of school life most successfully fulfilled when parents/guardians, students,
and the school work closely together. Should clothing not fall within the guidelines, a student will be required to leave class
until the situation is corrected.
North Cross School has established a relationship with Lands’ End and will use their products as the basis for the
school-wide dress code. Land’s End has created a North Cross School Store from which students may choose their school
apparel. ese items are guaranteed for life and are comfortable and well made. Colors revolve around red, black, and
white (the school colors). It is preferable that families purchase their school clothing from Land’s End so there will be no
confusion as to whether or not an item meets dress code. However, if an item is indistinguishable from the Lands’ End
item, it will meet the school’s dress code requirements.
