Dress Code
The weather is warming up (finally!) and layers of clothing are coming off--but let's make sure it's not TOO much! Remember that CHS has a dress code in the handbook, and students could be sent home if they are out of code.
DRESS CODE--District Policy 4.25
When dress and grooming substantially disrupts the learning process for the individual student or other students, it becomes a matter subject to disciplinary action.
General Dress Code
Students will be expected to adhere to the following:
Dress and grooming shall be clean and in keeping with health and sanitary practices.
Dress and grooming must not substantially disrupt the educational process.
Hats and caps may only be worn in the cafeteria and in the hallways. Hats and hoods may only be worn in the classroom at the discretion of the individual teachers.
Students are prohibited from wearing, while on the school grounds during the school day and at school-sponsored events, shrink tops, see-through tops, tops that expose cleavage, underarms, and/or the midriff, halter-tops, tanks tops, or sleeveless shirts that expose undergarments or the chest area. The shoulder width of the shirt must be the width of a dollar bill.
Apparel that advertises alcoholic beverages, drugs, tobacco, is sexually suggestive or implies a hate toward any particular group of people, or which show foul or inappropriate language, are not allowed.
Any apparel which is deemed by the administration gang related, such as bandanas, is strictly prohibited.
The hem of all pants or dress apparel shall not be shorter than fingertip length around the entire circumference of the hem.
Students must wear clothing that covers all of their undergarments. Specifically, pants must fit and cover undergarments, no sagging, to a point in which the pants must stay at waist height without the student pulling them up periodically. Students may not wear clothing to school or school-sponsored events that expose the buttocks.
Students are not allowed to wear pajamas, house shoes, or any other type of clothing considered to be sleep apparel by the staff and administration.
Any distracting body piercing, as determined by the teacher and/or the principal shall immediately be removed.
Leggings, athletic pants (spandex material) or compression pants, and other similar form fitting garments are only acceptable if a shirt or shorts are covering the entire buttocks.
School uniform tops may be worn on game days if approved by the coaches or cheerleading sponsor. Cheer uniforms can be worn with undershirt and cheer pants or leggings.
Shoes are required outside of classrooms and in the cafeteria at all times.
In case of a contagious disease outbreak or in other emergency conditions, personal protective equipment including but not limited to face masks may be required for entry into the school building. A minimum standard may be set by administration.
Full face coverings are prohibited.
Individual instructors may require more specific dress codes to prevent clothing or hairstyles that can be hazardous to them in their educational activities in specific courses.
Students who violate the dress code will be sent to the office and the office staff will determine if the student’s wardrobe needs to be adjusted, clothing needs to be obtained from the school clothes closet, or a change of clothes needs to be obtained from home. Excessive dress code violations (more than three in one week) will result in noon detention and eventually ISS.

Strengthening In-Class Instruction
Here's what you need to know:
Bathrooms
- Students will receive three “leave the room” passes per quarter per teacher.
- Students must leave their cell phones in the classroom in order to be permitted to leave the classroom.
- Students may not leave the classroom during direct instruction.
- There is a 2 minute limit in the bathroom (barring extenuating circumstances).
- No bags are allowed in bathrooms.
- Students must adhere to the posted limit of people in the bathroom.
Cell Phones
The use of cell phones is prohibited in classrooms at Cedarville High School unless the instructor has a valid, instructional purpose for the use of the cell phone.
- Students will follow the clearly posted procedures for cell phones in each classroom or will be subject to disciplinary action.
- Cell phones are prohibited from exam rooms during state assessments.
- Refusal to follow procedures = 1 day loss of privilege
- 2nd offense = 1 week loss of privilege
- 3rd offense = 6 weeks loss of privilege
- 4th offense = 1 semester loss of privilege
Additionally, any student who sends mean, harassing, or threatening texts; instigates a fight; or enters into a physical altercation will have cell phone privileges revoked.
Please remember that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of student education records. Because of FERPA, we can only communicate information about a student to that student's parents or guardians. Please know that we are supporting all students in meeting our standards, even if you do not receive information about students who are not your child.
