Dear Parents and Guardians,

In order to maintain a positive learning environment, it is expected that Cypress Hills students dress in a professional manner. We expect Cypress Hills Students 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 on campus:

No student should be disproportionately affected by dress code enforcement because of gender, race, body size, or maturity. Dress code enforcement should not infringe upon instructional time. The enforcement of this policy should happen through community discussions about valuing different perspectives rather than punitive measures. In cases where a garment expresses racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive content, some form of awareness and education will be provided to the student by an appropriate member of the staff.

Consequences for Dress Code Violation

If a student comes to school wearing clothing prohibited by the Dress Code, the student must modify their appearance to abide by the dress code, i.e. adjust clothing, parent can bring change of clothing, or take clothing provided by the school for the remainder of the school day.If a student continues to violate the dress code a parent/guardian must come to the school for a meeting to address the violations.
