PANTHER PROWL
CIMARRON MIDDLE SCHOOL NOV/DEC 2019
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Hello Cimarron Families!
What a great time of the year! You and your child(ren) may even dress up in a costume and visit a few neighbors on Thursday evening. I hope you enjoy the time with family and friends.
This week at Cimarron we are centered on the Red Ribbon Week Theme of Send a Message - Stay Drug-Free. From being the "I" in KIND to asking someone where they would like to travel someday, there is plenty of PantherPRIDE throughout our campus.
I hope this Saturday from 10 am - 2 pm you'll stop by and visit Panther Holiday Pop Up Shops in our main gym. It's the perfect opportunity to do some holiday shopping and eat great food while supporting our Panthers.
Enjoy the extra hour of sleep Saturday night, too.

REMEMBER YOUR I.D. BADGE
Please assist your student in remembering to wear their I.D. Badge EVERY SCHOOL DAY. We encourage students to store their badge in their backpacks each afternoon so it will be easy to locate for the next school day. Your help is appreciated as we continue efforts toward a safe and secure school environment.
PERSONAL DEVICES
At Cimarron Middle School, personal devices must be off and out of sight for the duration of the school day. In remaining consistent with our middle school practice, devices will be allowed prior to the first school bell at 7:40 and after the last bell at 2:40. Should a need arise for an urgent message to your child, we will be happy to help with that communication through our office at 405.340.2935.
DAILY DELIVERIES
Please make arrangements with your student before dropping off lunches, afterschool clothing, equipment, etc. Your assistance with this matter is appreciated.
School essential items will be delivered as needed.
STUDENT DRESS CODE
Dress Code - EPS Policy #4510
The student dress code is based upon the premise of recognizing fashion without sacrificing decency, safety, and appropriateness.
Tops
Remain on the shoulders
Cover midriffs at all times (even when raising a hand or two)
Remember when wearing tank tops, they must be at least 3 fingers wide at the narrowest location
Undergarments will remain covered
Frayed, shredded, ripped or torn garments are not to be worn
Bottoms
Keep your undergarments covered
If your top is longer than your shorts, ask yourself ‘Does my top pass the pencil rule?’ When I leave home and when I enter school
Correct your apparel before beginning the day.
- sometimes the bottom garment shrinks before your 1st hr.
- Do my fingers touch my skin when at my side? Then my bottoms are too short.
Frayed, shredded, ripped or torn garments are not to be worn
Footwear
Wear appropriate shoes, closed-toe shoes are the safest.
Pencil Rule - our bottom garment will touch a pencil when you place at the top of your kneecap (patella) at home, prior to beginning the day, and throughout the day
