Health and Safety
We will request all families start their morning by using the Parent and Guardian Guidance Checking Your Student Before Leaving Home to check for symptoms/conditions prior to sending the students to school. This will help support our campus in staying healthy and safe.
We will continue to require all students and staff upon entering the campus to wear masks as well to ensure a safe environment.
Medical Tools
Please review the Medical Emergency Tools for School video created by CCSD's HEARTEd team.
Safety Reminders
Students who are not supervised prior to 8:40 should not be left unattended on school grounds. Additionally, if students who are not being safe riding their bikes in the parking lot unattended may be restricted from riding their bikes/scooters to school in the future.
The parking lot at Jim Thorpe is closed to all traffic as students enter and exit the campus from 8:30 - 9:00 and from 2:45 until buses depart. If you are in the lot prior to these times you must stay in the lot until buses and students have entered and exited for the safety of students and staff.
Dress Code
Some additional reminders as we come to the end year and the weather is getting warm but CCSD dress code and student standard attire must be followed. Some of these rules are as follows:
-
Prohibit wearing crop tops (no skin showing between bottom of shirt/blouse and top of pants or skirts), strapless, low-cut clothing with slits, or tops and outfits that provide minimum coverage.
-
Prohibit wearing clothing with spaghetti straps.
All sleeveless shirts must have straps at least three inches wide and cover the shoulder. -
Require that all shorts, skirts and dresses must be at fingertip length. If shorts are worn, they must be hemmed and without fraying.
