Central Kitsap High School dances are for CKHS students and their guests.  To bring a guest, students must obtain a Guest Pass.  No guest may be 21 years of age or older.  No guest passes are issued the night of the dance.  No blank guest passes are issued.  Each pass is for a specific person.  Students are expected to follow the dance rules and procedures as follows:

• All school rules apply
• Administration must pre-approve all guests.
• A sheriff will be on duty for the duration of the dance
• Students and guests are admitted at the door and must present a Photo ID card.  (School, Military or driver’s license ID is accepted)
• Students will not be allowed to re-enter after leaving the dance.
• Central Kitsap High School dress code applies at all school-sponsored events.
• Most  CKHS dances are formal/semi-formal events.  It is both the guest’s and the student’s responsibility to read and know the Dress Code for Dances.  These rules are posted and it is required that all students read and sign off that they have read the rules before purchasing a ticket.
• Tickets will not be sold at the door or venue.
• Personal bags or backpacks brought into a dance are subject to search.

Inappropriate suggestive dance movements will not be tolerated nor will freak dancing or grinding.  Staff will follow their best judgment on CKHS “Dance Code Etiquette” to determine inappropriate dancing.  A warning will be given if the dancing is perceived as inappropriate and may be followed by consequences if the warning is not adhered to.

After School Detention: After School Detention is a consequence assigned to students for truancy, chronic tardy and other discipline as determined by an administrator.  After school detention takes place Monday – Wednesday 2:45pm – 4:00pm, and Thursday 1:15pm – 2:45pm.  Students must pre-arrange their own transportation home.

 In-School Suspension:  ISS is an alternative to out of school suspension.  Students in ISS will spend the school day with a supervisor and are not allowed to attend or participate in any extra-curricular activities after school.

Student Dress Code:

Central Kitsap School District believes that the responsibility for the dress of a student rests primarily with the student and his or her parents or guardians and that appropriate attire contributes to a productive learning environment. We expect students to give proper attention to personal cleanliness and to wear clothes that are suitable for the school activities in which they participate. To ensure effective and equitable enforcement of this dress code, school staff shall enforce the dress code consistently and in a manner that does not reinforce or increase marginalization or oppression of any group based on race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, national origin, household income or body type/size. School-directed changes to a student’s attire should be the least restrictive and disruptive to the student’s school day. Any school dress code enforcement actions should minimize the potential loss of educational time. Administration and enforcement of the dress code will be gender neutral and consistent. 

Appropriate Attire :

Student attire and grooming must be worn that permits the student to participate in learning without posing a risk of substantial disruption of or material interference with school activities or to the health or safety of any student or school district personnel.

 • Clothing must appropriately cover the groin and buttocks areas and breasts with opaque fabric, except that cleavage alone will not constitute a dress code violation. 

• Clothing must cover undergarments, except that visible straps on undergarments worn under clothing are permitted. 

• Clothing must be suitable for all scheduled classroom activities, including physical education, science labs, shop classes, and other activities where unique hazards or specialized attire or safety gear is required. 

• Clothing that is worn must not cause a material or substantial disruption of the educational process or have caused such disruption in the past.

In order for a student to take medication at school (even over-the-counter medications), a licensed healthcare provider’s order for medication must be on file at school. Visit our Medications page for forms and full information.

Medication may not be transported to or from school by students. Any unused medication must be picked up by parent/guardian at the conclusion of the school year or the designated school staff will properly dispose of it. 

Under certain conditions, students may be allowed to carry prescribed inhalers and/or prescribed Epi Pens for asthma or severe allergies.
Written directions for this must come from both the parent/guardian and the physician. The school nurse shall consult with the parent/guardian and/or physician before the student is allowed to carry a prescribed inhaler. If you have any questions regarding medications at school, please contact your child’s school nurse or the CK Health Services Department at 662-1070.

All students must have their picture taken regardless of whether or not you plan to purchase pictures.  An ID card is provided to each student free of charge however, replacement cards will have a fee of $3.00.  School photo packets are available for purchase through the photographer during the August MAZE Days.
