Welcome to the Cody Middle School parent newsletter. Monthly, we will be having a newsletter you can access on the PCSD website: (http://www.park6.org).

Hello parents and students! It’s hard to believe that summer is coming to a close and the start of the new school year is quickly approaching. The staff and administration at Cody Middle School is excited about the upcoming school year and looking forward to working with you and your student to make this one of the best school year’s ever. As you are getting your son and/or daughter ready to go back to school there are a few things we would like you to know.

CMS Registration: Student registration will be August 20 (6th grade), August 21 (7th grade), and August 28 (8th grade). Students can come to the middle school on these days from 9 a.m. to noon. During this time they can put their school supplies in their lockers and make necessary corrections to schedules. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on his/her scheduled day.

Student Schedules: Registered students will receive a schedule in the mail prior to the registration dates above. If there are any problems with your student’s schedule, please come in during the registration time and we will work to make all necessary corrections and changes at that time.

School Dress Code: Student dress at CMS is seldom an issue and we believe that it is generally the responsibility of the student and his/her parents for dress and appearance. As you go out do your school shopping, please keep in mind the following guidelines:

Students will not be permitted to wear:

1. Clothing with slogans, objects, or pictures, which promote the use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, violence, or gang activity. 2. Immodest clothing (belly shirts, short shorts, spaghetti straps or open arm tank tops).

For the complete policy on school dress at CMS you can refer to the CMS student handbook in the front of the student planner or on-line at the PCSD 6 website.

Enjoy the remainder of your summer! We look forward to seeing you in August.
