  1. Dresses or skirts must be no shorter than 8” from the knee.  Dresses and skirts will be measured while a student is sitting with upright posture.  A ruler will be used to measure from the end of the knee to the bottom hem or top of the slit in an article of clothing.
  2. If spandex, yoga style stretch pants, leggings, or any tight fitting garments are worn as pants, a school appropriate top/shirt must be worn that meets the requirement of covering the front and back inseam.  No yoga or stretch pants with see-through, mesh material, or cut out material 8” above the knee can be worn.
  3. Shorts must be no shorter than 8” from the knee.  Shorts will be measured with the student standing “flamingo style” with one knee in a chair, measuring from the middle of the knee to the bottom hem or top of the slit.  No bicycle shorts, single layer mesh shorts, spandex, or boxers can be worn.  
  4. All holes/deteriorated fabric that are above the knee must be patched with cloth, or have compression shorts, leggings or spandex underneath.  Skin should not be visible 8” above the knee.  This will be measured in the same fashion as shorts.
  5. Any clothing that does not cover the stomach, midsection, chest, side, or back is not allowed.

NOTE:  The CMS Dress Code Policy applies to all CMS and CPS events.  If you’re in doubt, bring an extra CMS appropriate shirt and/or pair of pants.

 

Non-compliance with the Dress Code: If a student is out of compliance they will be required to call a parent/guardian. If a change of clothes cannot be obtained quickly, the student will be sent to ISD, until compliant clothing is received. On the third dress code infraction the student will receive ISD and a Major Point.  Continued offenses will include extended time in ISD, and/or Suspension until the matter is corrected or resolved. A meeting with the Principal and the students' Parents/Guardian may also be required after repeated offenses.

The CMS administration reserves the right to make additions, changes, or interpretations to this policy, as deemed necessary to promote modesty and safety throughout the school year.
