Procedures for Absences
If a student misses school because of the reasons listed in the next section, a parent or guardian must notify the House Office (Green 556-7144; Red 556-7174; Blue 556-7124; Purple 556-7184) by phone (preferred) or by written message upon the student's return to school. Please call your child’s House Office by 10:30 a.m. on the day of the absence.
The student who was authorized by a parent's phone message on the day of the absence may report directly to his/her first period class upon return to school. The student who is authorized by written message upon his/her return to school must report to his/her House Office for an admit slip before going to class.
Prearranged absences should be communicated to the teacher for college visits, family trips, court appearances, and other absences for which the student has prior knowledge. A parent or guardian should notify the school at least three school days in advance of the scheduled absence so that a prearranged absence form will be initiated by the student to have signed by their teachers and Counselor. Students will be expected to find out what work will be missed and to make arrangements with their teachers for making up missed assignments.
If a student needs to leave the building for a scheduled appointment, the parent or guardian should call the House Office, or send a note with the student, indicating the time for the student’s release. The student should then pick up a pass to leave the building from the House Office. When a student returns to school, he/she must report back to the House Office for an admit slip to class.
Please note that 18 year-old students who are independent students as defined by section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code are required to abide by CHS attendance rules and regulations.
Suspensions are excused absences and students will be permitted to complete make-up work for missed classes.
Students will be released through the activities office for athletic and extracurricular activities.
