Dress Code Update

Rolling Hills Families:

After the winter vacation, we will be enforcing dress code regulations for garments that put students at risk.  These risks include site safety as well as safety in the community as they travel to and from school.

1.   No slippers are allowed on campus.  Shoes must be close toed and have solid soles.
2.   Red or blue shoe laces will be prohibted.  Pastel shades and white, grey and black will the the only allowed shoe laces.  Both shoes must be tied with the same color laces.
3.    Team baseball caps in solid black, solid red, or solid blue will not be permitted on campus.  Students may wear sports apparel in the original team colors only.
4.    Nike "Cortez" model shoes will not be allowed on campus.
5.    Students wearing oversized embroidered jeans will be asked to save them for weekends at the mall.  While not prohibited at this time, they are discouraged.
6.   Students sagging their pants and/or exposing their underwear will be asked to arrange their garments in a school appropriate manner.

We work closely with the San Jose Community Resource Officers and Campbell Police to determine the trends in gang activity and those dress items which students wear to display affiliation with gangs in the West Valley.  We do not in any way think that our students are involved in gang activity.  We do think that they put themselves at risk coming to and going from school in the area if they wear things that can be interpreted as gang related.  Thank you for your support.

Principal's Corner

Dear Rolling Hills Families:

Winter appears to be here for awhile.  Students and Staff like to take full advantage of those brief sunny lunch periods.  Even though we need the rain, most of us would like to see a little more of those sunny times.

Our Parent College Night was a success.  Over 65 families attended.  Speakers from UC Santa Cruz, De Anza College and the Campbell Culinary Institute gave informative and engaging presentations and answered lots of questions.  Thank you to our Curriculum and Instruction Department for making the arrangements.

We are now using a new web-based absence tracking system.  Families will be receiving letters regarding attendance, even if the absences are excused due to illness.  These letters are meant as reminders that students need to be in school.  If you know ahead of time that your family will be away during school time, please contact the school attendance office for an independent study contract.  And if your child is ill, don't forget to call our attendance line to report the absence.

High School Counselors from both Westmont and Del Mar will be on campus on March 2 to begin the high school registration process with our 8th graders.  Special Education articulation meetings will be scheduled for families later in the spring.

While February is bringing clouds and rain, it also brings us President's Week break.  School will not be in session from February 15-19.  I'm sure many of you  have plans to enjoy the fresh snow in the Sierras or take a warmer "road trip."  Don't forget to join us for the second Principal's Coffee on February 11.  If there are any topics you would like to discuss or any questions you have, please come and join the meeting.
