Uniforms

DRESS FOR SUCCESS!

All students at NWP will wear uniforms.  School uniforms must be purchased from Kids Place, located at 1541 Forest Avenue, Unit #16 . NWP has a dress code to establish a neat appearance and avoid disruptions in the school environment. The uniform also establishes a sense of community, professionalism, and team spirit. To belong to NWP is to identify you as a hard working, motivated individual willing to work harder to achieve your dreams.

All NWP Uniform items, except for bottoms, MUST be purchased at Kids Place.  Each day the students are expected to dress according to the following standards:

  • Uniform Polo: Short or long sleeve polo shirt with the school logo.

  • Pants for both male and female students must be secure around the waist. NO SAGGING!

Students are NOT permitted to wear:

  • Jackets, hooded sweatshirts, or any shirt that does not have a NWP logo inside the school building. (Winter Jackets for extreme cold weather are the only exception.)
  • Clothing that is oversized or does not fit appropriately.
  • Hats, hoods, do-rags, or other head coverings. (Appropriate parental documentation is required when head coverings are worn for religious purposes.)
