SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
The CMH administration feels it worthwhile to reiterate key points of our adherence to the Archdiocesan
Policies and Guidelines regarding the use of Social Media websites.
• CMH faculty, staff, coaches, moderators, and other designated volunteers, will not communicate
with your student by means of a personal social media website.
• If CMH web portal or the school’s texting system will not be the means of communication between
adult and student, you will be informed of this prior to the start of the class, sport season, or activity.
You will be invited to be included as a member of the group with access to all postings and messages.
• The use of a given social media group for a specific class, team, or activity, will be terminated when
all of the related activities of that specific grouping are completed.
• All communication media used by CMH will be expected to fully reflect the school’s Catholic identity
and its educational mission.
STUDY RESOURCE OPTIONS (SRO)
The SRO program gives eligible students an opportunity to make some of their own decisions on time
management in preparation for the realities of college and adulthood. Eligibility for SRO includes the
following criteria: junior or sophomore standing; GPA from the previous quarter of 2.5 or greater; three
(3) or fewer demerits from the previous quarter. Only eligible students may utilize the following study
areas during their assigned study periods: Learning Commons, or Academic Resource Center. Students
without SRO are assigned to the Academic Resource Center.
Students agree to the following in their use of SRO:
1. To respect the room and its contents
2. To respect the school policies given by the moderator
3. To talk quietly
4. To report to the room on time and accept the normal consequences of habitual tardiness
5. To remain in assigned seating until attendance has been taken
6. No eating or drinking
7. No cell phones, no music
8. No games
Students may lose SRO privileges for failing to follow the program regulations, falling below achievement
level in a subject or subjects, excessive tardies to school or class, or inappropriate behavior.
STUDENT SUPPORT PROGRAM
DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
Catholic Memorial High School has the responsibility to provide an optimal environment for the intellectual,
emotional, and physical development of its students. Catholic Memorial also recognizes that the education
and behavior of students is affected adversely by use, abuse, or dependency on drugs and alcohol.
Therefore, the school takes seriously its role, along with parents and other segments of the community,
in helping young people make responsible decisions about the use of alcohol and other drugs. Catholic
Memorial will make every effort to assist students and parent in accessing appropriate resources.
STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
The Student Support Program assists students and families in many ways. A committee made up of the
School Counselors, Principal, Dean of Students, and Learning Resource Specialist meets regularly to
identify students’ needs. Individualized programs are designed to support spiritual, emotional, behavioral,
and/or academic growth.
Students can be referred to the attention of the Student Support Program by parents, teachers, and staff. Parents
are welcome to call any Program member to discuss what can be done to encourage success for students.
Since all Catholic Memorial faculty and staff are mandated reporters, any student sharing information
regarding abuse/neglect to self or others will be reported pursuant to State Statutes 48.98(2).
LOST AND FOUND
Students should bring found articles to the office and inquire there for lost articles.
