(From the CAHS Student Handbook)
*Download and view a PowerPoint on the Do's and Don'ts of the CAHS Uniform along with a copy of the Student Handbook at the bottom of this page.
Students should come to school neatly and appropriately dressed and groomed. Any style of dress which threatens the health or safety of the individual or tends to cause a break-down in the morale or general discipline of the school is prohibited. Any jacket or wind breaker that is worn during inclement weather must be completely open in the front.
Parents must make sure students leave home wearing the proper school uniform.
Teachers will send to the office any student whose dress or style of grooming violates the dress code or is unsafe, unsanitary, indecent, or so ridiculous as to cause comment and commotion in the classroom, campus or school-sponsored event.
