Dear Students and Families,
As we begin the school year, we'd like to send a friendly reminder about the CGUHS Dress Code. Our goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and distraction-free learning environment where all students can focus on learning.
Please take a moment to review the attached dress code guide with your student before coming to school. It includes examples of clothing and accessories that are not permitted on campus, along with other important dress code expectations.
A reminder regarding hoodies: Hooded sweatshirts are permitted on campus. However, unless weather conditions make them necessary outdoors, hoods should remain down while inside school buildings and during the school day. This helps us maintain a safe campus by ensuring students can be easily identified.
We appreciate your partnership in helping students arrive at school dressed appropriately, ready to learn, and prepared for a successful school day. If you have any questions regarding the dress code, please don't hesitate to contact the school.
Thank you for your continued support of CGUHS! 💙💛🐾
