paid prior to the start of each sport and paid directly to the school district. School officials will also need a copy of your child’s health insurance card to be put on file this school year. Any new students will need birth certificate, immunization records, copy withdrawal form and transcripts. Dress Code As you prepare for the new school year please keep in mind the HWUSD adopted dress code policy, as it will strictly be enforced during the 2013-2014 school year. Students are encouraged to dress for success and in a manner that represents a serious approach to learning and work. Good taste is always in fashion and need not be expensive or trendy. The appearance of any student is the responsibility of the individual and his or her parent/legal guardian. Students should maintain an appearance that is not distracting to teachers or other students. Dress should not be detrimental to the educational process of the school. The following guidelines should be kept in mind:
• Clothing that advertises alcohol, tobacco products, violence, foul language or that is sexually suggestive or represents gang affiliation is not permitted on campus. • Shoes or sandals must be worn on campus. House slippers are not appropriate. P.E., CTE classes and other school activities may require special footwear. • Clothing that is transparent, exposes a bare midriff, shoulders or back is not permitted on campus. Halter tops and spaghetti strapped tops are not allowed on campus. • Shorts/pants must cover the waist and may not be shorter than an extended arm while standing. Bicycle shorts and other tight or revealing clothing may not be worn to class. Sagging, excessively baggy or hanging pants are not appropriate. • Student caps and hats are not allowed in the classrooms. • In order to promote security for all and to be able to identify students, no hoods, snow caps, masks, or dark glasses may be worn in school buildings. For more information, please contact the school.
Hayden – The Copper Basin Chamber of Commerce (CBCC) is firing up their annual Back To School Drive. Last year, thanks to the generous support of local businesses and individuals, they were able to provide local school children with what they needed to start their
school year off right. On Aug. 5, the Ray and Hayden School District will begin their school year. It is the goal of the CBCC to provide the students with supplies on July 26. If you would like to help, drop-off locations for supplies are the Town of Hayden, Bank
of the West or the Copper Basin Chamber of Commerce office. Or, for monetary donations, contact the CBCC by calling 520-363-7607 or email angela@copperbasinaz.com. Checks can also be mailed to Copper Basin Chamber of Commerce at PO Box 206, Kearny, AZ 85137.
