Dress Code

Students should wear appropriate clothing for an educational setting. Parents
should determine the manner of dress for their children with consideration to
safety, health, and weather. Additionally, student clothing should not create a
distraction. Specific examples of necessary guidelines include:

 Length of shorts and skirts should not be above finger-tip length

 No thin or “spaghetti straps” on tops

 Hats are not to be worn inside

We try to go outside for recess on a daily basis. On cold weather days, please make
sure your child has a hat, gloves, and coat. When it snows, boots and snow pants
are important. Please plan on your child going outside every day.

Emergency School Closings

If conditions occur that force the closing of school, an announcement will first be
posted on www.hudson.k12.oh.us. You will then receive a phone call notifying your
family of the closing. Most local radio and T.V. stations also announce school
closings. Please do not call the school. In lieu of closing for the day, the HCSD may
participate in a 2 hour delayed start (please see more information under Delayed
Start).
