As the warm weather approaches, we are asking for your help in making sure our students come to school in appropriate dress. We have noticed an increase in the number of dress code violations ranging from t-shirts with offensive or vulgar wording to extremely revealing shorts. This message includes a copy of the CHS Dress Code Policy for your review. Feel free to contact the school with questions.

It does not apply to school sanctioned uniforms, costumes, or other circumstances approved by the principal.
