A Message from the Administration

Dear Parents:

There are two issues that have been of great concern to the faculty and administration during the past few weeks at school. As we approach this Christmas vacation and break from school, we are asking for your assistance to help improve these two areas at CCHS.

The first issue we have addressed with students at two assemblies this week is dress code and uniform. Many of our students look very nice everyday, but we do have a concern about the appearance of some members of the student body. We spent some time reminding the students that being in a uniform is a part of every day life. In their career, they will undoubtedly be expected to dress in a particular way. Their appearance is what helps to make a first impression. We are asking for your assistance over Christmas break in getting your student's uniform presentable for school each day.

Our winter uniform requires a sweater to be worn every day. Students in grades 9-11 should be wearing white button down shirts. Boys may wear grey or khaki pants from Flynn and O'Hara only. Girls' skirts are from Flynn and O'Hara and should be hemmed no more than 4 inches above the knee. The girls are also currently required to wear black tights. If a student comes to school with holes or rips in tights, we will have tights to purchase at school. If the girls' skirt length does not improve, we will have the girls remain in tights during the spring.

Finally, students' shoes should be worn properly. Many students have chosen to flatten the backs of their shoes. Not only does this not look appropriate, wearing shoes in this way is a safety hazard.

The second issue of great concern at CCHS is student attendance every day. Students are required to be in school on time every day. This means that students are in the building before 8:11 am and sitting in homerooms by 8:15 am. We are asking that you make being present in school every day a priority in your family. The only reason to be absent from school is illness. We are asking that families do not schedule vacations during the school year. Vacations are not excused absences. Missing school days at the high school level has a direct impact on student's achievement in school. We will be addressing families individually with attendance concerns for individual students.

We thank you in advance for your assistance in these two matters. It is the partnership between home and school that will help to make the students successful.

May you have a Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year,

Mary Whipkey, President
Heather Crisci, Principal

"And behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy; and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him."

Matthew 2:9-11
