SCHOOL UNIFORMS

UNIFORMS

Uniforms at Gables are mandatory. Monday-Thursday students are required to wear either a CGHS-logoed polo or a CGHS-logoed hoodie. On Fridays, students have the option to wear spirit shirts (long sleeve or short sleeve). There are no uniform pants. However pants with holes, paint or are otherwise in poor repair are not allowed.


The physical education department also requires students to be in athletic uniforms during PE class. This includes a CGHS-logoed shirt and shorts. All uniforms can be purchased online from the PTSA Member Hub.


Once orders are placed, your student(s) may pick up your order throughout the school year. PTSA volunteers will distribute uniform orders in the school auditorium lobby, every Wednesday between 10:30 and 12:30 (during the two lunch periods). If the ordered size does not fit or you would like a different color, please return the unwashed and unworn item to the PTSA (same location and time as above) and we will exchange it for an item of your liking.


100% of profits from uniform sales help the PTSA support students and faculty programs at Gables.


If you have questions about uniforms, your order or exchange policies, please contact cghsuniforms@gmail.com

Both Even and Odd Blocks include 4 blocks, spanning from 90 to 125 minutes each. Throughout the week, students alternate between Even Block days and Odd Block days. Each student will be assigned one of two lunch periods during the day – either 10:33 to 11:08 or 11:09 to 12:44.

​

  • There are two cafeterias on campus. One at the 9000 building and one at the 6000 building.

​

  • Students are not allowed to leave school at anytime during the school day.

​

  • In order to leave early, a student must have someone on their Emergency contact card come to the school and sign them out. In the case of an absence, a parent or guardian must send an email to attendance office, including a doctor’s note or viable reason pertaining to the absence. Attendance Office: 7071attendance@dadeschools.net

​

  • Be aware of the 10/20 Rule. If a student exceeds 10 unexcused daily absences and/or 20 daily tardy in a school year, he/she cannot participate in certain school functions (proms, pep rallies, and so on).
