In order to maintain a positive learning environment, it is expected that CPC students dress in a professional manner. We expect CPC students to be dressed appropriately to ensure safety and to keep the focus on teaching and learning. We would like all parents and guardians to remind students of proper dress protocols to promote a more effective learning climate and teach children appropriate dress and decorum in their “workplace” and to help improve student conduct and discipline.
Shoes must be worn at all times and should be safe and professional for the school environment; footwear that may cause a safety hazard (ex. flip-flops/ sandals) are not permitted.
Clothing that does not provide coverage of shoulders, torso, undergarments, and private body parts, including see-through garments of any kind are prohibited including ripped Jeans above the knees which must be worn with shorts or opaque leggings under.
Headgear including hats and caps are not allowed unless permitted for religious, medical, or other reasons by school administration.
Excessively large hoop earrings are not permitted.
Jackets/coats must be put in lockers.
Hooded sweatshirts are permitted but hoods must remain down when on school property.
If a student comes to school wearing clothing prohibited by the Dress Code, then the student’s parents will be notified, the student may be subject to the interventions and disciplinary responses set forth in the Discipline Code, and the student will be expected to make appropriate adjustments to his/her clothing to conform with the Dress Code (e.g., turning shirt inside out, borrowing temporary clothing until the end of the school day, etc.). Interventions may include but are not limited to: warnings, confiscation of the item and return at end of the day, parent-teacher conference, a student entering a behavioral contract, or revocation of the privilege to bring the item to school.
