Uniforms Guide
Students are expected to adhere to the school and gym dress codes. Parental support of these codes is required. We encourage students at NFA to take pride in their appearance. When a child looks and feels good about him or herself, he or she acts and works accordingly.
-
Students are to maintain an appearance of neatness, which includes:
-
Shirts being tucked in at all times
-
Pants, shorts, and skirts worn correctly at waist level
-
Skirts must pass the fingertip test
-
- Neatness and cleanliness in personal attire are part of a child’s education and the responsibility of the parents.
- If a situation arises where a student will not be in full uniform, parents are expected to communicate with the homeroom teacher.
- For students traveling between buildings/campuses throughout the school day non-NFA sweatshirts and jackets are to be removed before the start of class.
We work primarily with two vendors:
- Flynn & O’Hara Uniform Company in Springhouse (215-793-9436)
- Flocco’s Shoes in Conshohocken (610-828-5544).
The NFA Parents Association offers gently used uniforms via “The Clothesline.” Please check the monthly calendar on the website for “The Clothesline” schedule.
