Crossroads Charter High School

UNIFORM POLICY

CCHS students are expected to dress in proper uniform attire at all times.  Much effort is put into choosing uniform items that are comfortable, modest, durable and attractive.  All student uniform items must be ordered from vendors chosen by the school.  No other vendors are allowed.

 

Reasons for requiring a uniform policy:

             ○ Reduces peer pressure

             ○ Helps break down socio economic barriers

             ○ Lower cost (Reducing number of outfits)

             ○ Student conduct is improved.

             ○ Ease and convenience

             ○ Easy identification on field trips

 

○ Creates more serious classroom atmosphere

                 ○ Promotes positive student and school image.

 

It is the responsibility of the parents or guardians to ensure compliance with the uniform dress code.

The parent or guardian may be called to bring proper uniform items to school

for any student arriving out of uniform.

The result of repeated violations will be suspension.
