CELL PHONES
Cell phones are allowed outside the classroom during non-instructional times. Cell phones can only be used during class time when a teacher allows the class to use phones. Cell phones may be taken up by a teacher or administrator if deemed necessary and further consequences will be given.
CHECKING IN/OUT AND LEAVING CAMPUS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY
At Cherokee Bluff High School, we believe that it is of vital importance that our students miss as little time from class as possible. Therefore, it is advisable that parents attempt to schedule appointments outside of school hours whenever possible. If, however, it is necessary for a student to leave school, the following procedure should be followed:
1. On the morning of the day students need to check out, students should bring a note from a parent or legal guardian stating the reason for checking out and giving a telephone number that can be called for verification. (If a parent cannot be reached, the doctor or dentist will be contacted.) The note should be taken to the attendance office before 1st period starts.
2. During the morning a phone call will be made to verify the permission/excuse.
3. At a designated time, office personnel will clear students to leave campus.
Students may leave only after being cleared by the attendance office.
4. Photo identification is required to check out a student.
5. Checking out for the lunch period is not allowed.
EXCUSED REASONS FOR CHECKING OUT OF SCHOOL ARE THE SAME AS THOSE FOR EXCUSED ABSENCES FROM SCHOOL.
