Principal Notes

**Beginning of Semester Reminders**

Welcome Back!

We hope everyone had a fun and restful break. We are excited to have everyone in the building today!

We still have many items in the lost found, and students must pick them up by next week.

We will review our school practices and procedures as we begin a new semester. Advisory lessons will cover these expectations and guidelines. In this newsletter, you will find links to our handbooks and guidelines for success near the bottom. Students will earn "Lasso Loot" by demonstrating appropriate practices and behaviors throughout their day. Lasso Loot can be exchanged for weekly prize drawings for students and staff or choices from a menu. These practices and procedures help create a consistent, safe, and welcoming learning environment. If you have any questions about these procedures and practices, please feel free to ask.

The spring semester is a new beginning for us all, and we look forward to all the fun and exciting things this semester brings.

See you soon!

We are Cheyenne!

We are Mustangs!

Traffic

Please help us get students into school on time and safely.

Here are helpful tips:

Focus and put cell phones away while driving in the school zone

Pull vehicles all the way to the blue line on each loop

Students should get out of the car along the sidewalk of the drives and medians in the lot

Do not get out at the red light or along Covell or Kelly

Students should be ready to get out of the car when vehicles stop

Use crosswalks

If you need more time with your student please pull into a parking space

Dropping Off Items (No Food Deliveries)

We ask that you check with your student before they walk out the door and make sure they are prepared for the day. This includes having their, Chromebook, ID and Lunch. If your student does forget their lunch or something they need for school, we have a cart in our front lobby with grade levels. This will be rolled back into the common area for the students to pick up their items during passing. Please drop off LUNCHES or SCHOOL SUPPLIES ONLY.

If you are dropping off an instrument or athletic equipment we will place this by the back office door for them to come up and get during their passing or after school. Please make arrangements with your student regarding these items and where to retrieve them.

We do not accept any outside deliveries for students. No door dash, grubhub, etc.

Dress Code

DRESS CODE POLICY

Please take a few minutes to look over the Edmond Public Schools Dress Code policy #4510. and STUDENT DRESS CODE (REGULATION) Here are a few key points.

Hats/Headwear: Students shall not wear hats or headwear in classrooms unless a medical or religious exception exists.
Clothing: Clothing must cover areas from one armpit across to the other armpit, down to the upper thighs. Tops must have shoulder straps. Rips or tears in clothing should be below the pocket area of jeans or pants. The top and bottom clothing items must be touching (No mid-drift).
Shirts may not be sheer or mesh and must cover the entire trunk of the body. Messages on shirts shall not include illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other products that may not be utilized by children. Vulgar and/or obscene messages are prohibited and will be subject to discipline under the student discipline code.
Pants, shorts, skirts, and skorts shall be worn at the waist and must be no shorter than mid-thigh.

NO BLANKETS-

Over the past school year, we have observed more students bringing blankets to school. We would like to remind everyone that blankets are not encouraged. If a student brings a blanket to school, it will be confiscated and returned to them at the end of the school day. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Student IDs who forget their student ID are asked to call home when they don't have it. If parents are able to bring it to school great. But, if not students will print a sticker for the day. If students have to print up to 3 stickers they will be receiving a new ID and $5 charged to their student account.
