If you are shopping for school clothes in these final two weeks before school starts on August 31st, please keep our student dress code in mind. It is included here for your reference:
Central Cambria School District
DRESS CODE
All
students should be dressed and groomed so as not to distract the attention of
others or to cause disruption with the educational process or orderly operation

change quickly, the administration reserves the right to deem certain articles
of clothing inappropriate even if not outlined in this student handbook. When
a student is recognized as not being in compliance with the stated practices,
the principal shall meet with the student to discuss the reasons and render a
decision following their discussion. If
a student is in noncompliance with the regulations, disciplinary action will be
taken and the student will be required to make appropriate modifications before
re-entering class and/or school.
