DRESS FOR SUCCESS
Our goal at North Park Academy is to have
students dress safely and modestly to maximize
learning for all students. This dress program helps
establish an atmosphere where students
concentrate on their learning. Clothes should be
neat, clean, and reflect good taste and decency.
SHIRTS DO NOT NEED A COLLAR BUT MUST
HAVE SLEEVES.
