DRESS CODE CHANGE:

CSISD has made a change to the dress code below:

Hemlines on all dresses, skirts, and shorts must not be shorter than mid-thigh length (from the shortest part of the garment) and must also ensure full coverage of the buttocks and/or undergarments at all times, including when sitting, standing, walking, or bending. Students should be able to participate in all regular school activities without risk of exposing any part of the buttocks or undergarments. Shorts may not be rolled up at the waistline. When wearing shorts, the shorts must be visible.

Students are expected to be in dress code according the district policy. Students will be given the opportunity to rectify their dress if they are out of code. Students who do not rectify will be sent to ISS until their dress is back in code. To view the dress code policy please CLICK HERE.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE:

October 24th is one of our designated parent teacher conference days. If you are interested in a parent teacher conference, please email your child's teacher to get it set up on that day. If at any time you have questions about your child's performance, please email the teacher and they will be happy to collaborate with you.

IPAD CARE AND HEADPHONE NEEDS:

We appreciate your support in helping students take care of their district-issued iPads. Please remind your child to handle their device responsibly by:

• Carrying it carefully and not using it while walking in the hallway.

• Keeping their passcode private and not sharing it with others.

• Treating the iPad gently to prevent damage.

In addition, all students need USB-C headphones to use with their iPads. If your child already has headphones with a different connection, inexpensive adapters are available so you do not need to purchase a brand-new set.
