Homecoming 2013 Dress Code
CHS Administration
Before you begin to watch…
 Your homeroom teacher is not the person to ask your
questions regarding dress code.
 If you have any questions following the viewing of this
slideshow, please find Ms. Tompkins in W211 before or
after school. Do NOT interrupt class to ask a question
about your dress.
 Also, you cannot buy tickets without having seen this
slideshow.
Why does CHS have a
Homecoming dress code?
The administration and faculty want
you to make good, appropriate
choices, not inhibit your style.
However, this is a SCHOOL SPONSORED
event which requires appropriate
attire.
We want everyone to be comfortable
and safe.
BEFORE WE BEGIN…answer a few
common questions:
 1) Can I wear a strapless dress?
 YES! As long as it meets all other dress code requirements
 2) What happens if I arrive at homecoming and my dress does
NOT meet dress code?
 You will be going home and you will NOT get a refund.
 3) My date does not go to school here, what if her/his attire
does not meet dress code?
 You will be going home and you will NOT get a refund. Please
make sure your date has viewed the PowerPoint on dress
code
#1
#1: Dresses may not be cut below
the bust line.
 The bust line makes a full circle around your body
and includes the side directly under the armpit.
 With your arms down by your
side, if skin from your arms
touches (or can touch)skin on
the front part of your body,
below the bust line, the dress is
inappropriate.

Other Dress Code Rules
 #5 Dresses may not be constructed with seethrough fabrics such as: Tulle, Netting, or Illusion
(skin color inserts).
 #6 No pinning will be allowed as an alteration for
a dress if without the pins the dress does not meet
the dress code.
 #7 Fabric inserts must be sewn as alterations to
the dress. No skin color inserts will be allowed. This
still gives the illusion.
 #8 No cover-ups (shawls/wraps, sweaters, coats)
will be allowed over dresses that do not meet the
dress code.
 #9 Undergarments should not be visible.
#10: Formal Tuxedoes or Dress

While attending a semi-formal event, shirts
should be worn at all times. NO JEANS!
This is inappropriate attire for a
semi-formal event.
NO Hats or t-shirts
with the look of
formal attire.
Homecoming Dress Code Guidelines
While we will be reasonable in our
interpretation of these guidelines,
students and guests dressed
inappropriately will not be allowed
to enter or attend homecoming.
Rumor Has it…and rumor is wrong
Rumor has it we will “let it slide” if you
don’t meet dress code.
RUMOR IS WRONG.
YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE IF YOU
DO NOT MEET DRESS CODE.
There is NO refund for students asked
to leave due to dress code violation.
