EMPLOYMENT
Work permits are issued through the Counseling Center. It is suggested that students’ outside employment
be limited to twenty hours per week.
KEY FOB
In keeping with new standards of safety and security, Catholic Memorial High School will use a key fob
access system for all students, faculty and staff. Students are expected to sign Student Security Key
Fob Holder Responsibilities and carry their fob for use each school day. Students must report lost, stolen
or damaged key fobs to the Main Office.
HALL TRAFFIC
The five-minute passing period between classes allows ample time for students to arrive on time for
classes. Students are not to be in the halls or at their lockers when classes are in session unless they
have a pass from a staff member.
IDENTIFICATION CARDS
Each student will be issued an identification card which bears his/her photograph. This photograph will also
serve as the yearbook picture for underclassmen. ID pictures will be taken during Back to School Day. The
ID card should be carried at all times and must be shown on request to staff and faculty. This card is used as
identification to the chaperones at school dances and extra-curricular functions. The ID card can be pre-loaded
with money to purchase food items from the food service. Lending an I.D. card to anyone is in violation of
school rules. Lost or stolen I.D. cards should be reported to the school office and replacement will cost $10.00.
LOCKERS
Students are assigned lockers at the beginning of the school year at Back to School day. Lock combinations
are kept on file in the main office. Students are responsible for the maintenance of their assigned lockers
and should not change lockers without permission from the Dean of Students. Students are responsible for
their originally assigned lockers. Fines will be assessed for any damages found at the end of the school year.
Every locker must be locked at all times with a school lock purchased from the bookstore. The administration
reserves the right to place a lock on any unlocked locker at any time. If a lock is placed on a locker that
was not locked, the student will be required to buy the lock to receive the combination. To prevent other
students from removing locks, each student is reminded to turn the dial after snapping the lock shut.
Lockers are also available in the physical education locker rooms. All valuables should be locked up
during the time the student is in physical education class.
Students who are at school for after-school activities are asked to take all necessary materials from their
lock to their practice or activity. Catholic Memorial is not responsible for any items that are not secured.
PERSONAL PROPERTY
Catholic Memorial High School is a private facility. Cell phones, cars, lockers, backpacks, electronic devices,
etc. on CMH property or brought to a sanctioned CMH off campus event are subject to search at any time.
VALUABLES
Articles of special value needed for projects (e.g. cameras, electronic equipment, musical instruments,
etc.) should be left either in the office or in the care of a teacher. Under no circumstances should
students leave valuables in hallway or gym lockers. Valuables should be given directly to coaches and
physical education teachers. If it is necessary for a student to bring larger sums of money to school it is
recommended that the money not be carried on the person or placed in a locker, but rather be sealed in an
envelope and left in the main office until it is needed. CMH is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
WITHDRAWAL FROM SCHOOL
Students transferring to another school for any reason must obtain a withdrawal form from the Counseling
Center. This is an authorization for the transfer of the student’s records to the new school. All tuition,
fees, fines, etc. must be paid up-to-date for transcripts to be sent. If applicable, any tuition refunds are
made pursuant to the terms of the CMH Tuition Contract. Students who withdraw from CMH are not
eligible to participate in athletic or extra-curricular activities.
