CFHS DRESS CODE - EXPECTATIONS/CLARIFICATION
Lamar CISD has a standard dress and grooming policy that we follow.
As the principal of CFHS, I felt we needed a simple visual to ensure we have a clear understanding of the expectations for all students and staff before the first day of school.
See diagram below, as well as a picture of the minimum/additional requirements for further clarification.
REMINDER DRESS CODE
As you get ready to go school shopping, be clear on the CFHS Dress code! Thanks for your help!
NO RIPS ABOVE 3-4IN INSEAM ON SHORTS
NO ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES OR ALCOHOL REFERENCES!
LOGOS THAT ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR SCHOOL
CFHS PICTURE ID'S
Picture ID's will be passed out during the first week of school during lunches. All students will receive a new free ID for the 23-34 school year. ID's will be mandatory the minute you walk into the building. If you have one from last year please keep it in your back pack for a backup in case you forget it.
If lost your ID or need a new one, you will be scanning the QR code to have a new one printed for $5. This will be a fine that must be paid in order to be exempt from final exams, etc.
