CST ROCS store donations!
ASK YOUR KIDS ABOUT ROCS! The tokens and store have been a great success! Airpod cases have been super popular along with smaller candies, chips, and pop items. Teachers are beginning to accept tokens to sit in special chairs or illuminate the room with LED lights. The tokens, representing expected behavior recognition, have lots of value to our students. Thank you for your support and donations!!!
You can donate items for the ROCS (Respect, Ownership, Compassion, Safety) store through our Amazon Wish List and the items will be sent directly to CST.

Calling CST Dads!
Last year, CST launched Father's Club. Father's Club is currently established in all 5 Olathe high schools and kicked off in several Olathe middle schools last school year. Its origins stem from Blue Valley and has expanded to several surrounding districts and schools. Father's Club at CST has been tailored to CST's needs and will continue to evolve as time moves forward.
All dads are encouraged to sign-up using the links below. This will ensure you receive information for upcoming events. One exciting event coming up is the night game on September 6th at ODAC where the dads will host a "tailgate" for our students! Other opportunities will include car line and door greetings, food give-aways, half-time activities, etc. Read more about it below, but please consider signing up! Watch this space for more info!

What is CST ROCS???
Chisholm Trail launched its new PBIS program last school year. PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports and ROCS is Respect, Ownership, Compassion, and Safety. These four core values are emphasized and taught to our students daily. The program is intentional about teaching students expected behavior. Tokens may be given out for exhibiting expected behavior and those can be used in a "store" to purchase items. These items may be tangible (candy, pop, books, etc.) or intangible (time in the gym, lunch in a special location, sit in the teacher's chair for the day, etc.). The tokens are what helps make ROCS fun, but the conversations this generates between students and staff are also part of what makes this such an impactful program. You will certainly see and hear more but ask your child about ROCS, what it stands for, and why we do it...they should know and may share about their own experience receiving a token or cashing it in!
Use the link in the section below if you'd like to contribute to our store. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support of this important program at CST!
Cell Phones and School Attire
CELL PHONES
1. Cell phones may be used on school grounds before and after school.
2. Students may check a quick text during passing period, but should not be scrolling, watching videos, playing games, on social media, etc. during the school day.
3. Cell phone use is prohibited in classrooms, restrooms, and school offices, unless otherwise stated by a staff member.
4. During class time, cell phones must remain out of sight and in silent mode.
5. Unless explicitly allowed by a staff member, headphones and other listening devices may only be used before and after school hours.
6. If students need to place an emergency phone call during the day, they should request to go to the main office to use an office phone.
7. Students may be subject to disciplinary action if their use of their cell phone disrupts the school’s educational environment. Examples of this include, but are not limited to: cheating, bullying, harassment, unlawful recording or photographing, violating other school rules.
8. The school and its staff are not responsible for any damage to or theft of a student’s cell phone. Students must properly secure and take care of their own phones.
DRESS CODE
All students are to dress properly for attendance at school and at school functions. Coats and hats are to be left in students’ lockers. Students must wear shoes at all times. Costume-type dress is not permitted unless a special day has been designated. Students must have some part of their shirt/top which goes over the shoulders. Students who are not properly dressed or their dress is deemed disruptive to the educational process will be requested to correct their clothing. If they do not have a change of clothes, items will be provided through the nurse’s office.
These items are not considered appropriate for school:
- obscene or suggestive phrases or pictures on clothing;
- revealing or provocative clothing, including short shorts or which show bare midriffs or have plunging necklines
- clothing which does not cover undergarments
- phrases or pictures on clothing which refer to alcohol, smoking, drugs, or provocative brands
- hats, stocking caps, sunglasses, hoods
- clothing deemed inappropriate by school administration, school staff, district staff, or clothing which is a threat to the order or safety of the school or students; clothing in violation of school board policy.
- At Chisholm Trail, the dress code is intended to insure that students dress tastefully and appropriately for the school setting. We ask students to remember that clothing for school and clothing for recreational activities may NOT be the same. School clothes need to reflect that the child is at school to attend to the business of learning. Specific guideline questions may be directed to the building administration.
All students will get a review of the district Student Code of Conduct which can be found HERE.
