School honor attire:
The administration modifies the dress code on School Honor Days in order to support our core school values
of respect, professionalism and Memorial; school spirit and pride. School Honor Attire includes mass days,
field trips, and other days determined by administration. All students will choose to wear khakis, dress pants,
dress slacks or Capri’s. Sweaters and collared shirts, including polo shirts and dress shirts, are appropriate.
At the start of freshman and junior years, students will be provided an official CMH Honor Attire Polo. On
certain announced days this will be part of the required dress. If the provided shirt becomes lost or unusable
for honor attire wear, the student is responsible to purchase a new one at the Spirit Shop.
The following clothing is not permitted on School Honor Days: t-shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, skirts, dresses,
shorts and “flip-flop” or “shower” sandals.
The school administration makes the final decisions on all dress issues and reserves the right to judge
what is modest, clean, neat, offensive, unsafe, and clothing supportive of the school’s mission.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
Catholic Memorial HS uses the Standard Response Protocol which is endorsed by the Waukesha Police
Department and used by all schools in the city of Waukesha for a consistent response. SRP is a classroom
safety response based on four separate actions which apply to a variety of emergencies. The four actions
are: Lockout, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. Parents will be notified of an emergency by the CMH mass
communication service via voice and text.
Lockout is called when there is a threat or hazard outside of the school building such as violence or criminal activity.
The public address is “Lockout! Secure the perimeter” and is repeated twice. All students are to return to the building
while teaching continues. Outer doors remained locked with an increase in situational awareness.
Lockdown is called when there is a threat or hazard inside the school building such as an intruder or active
shooter. The public address is “Lockdown! Locks, Lights, Out of Sight” and is repeated twice. Students are
to move away from sight (windows and doors) and remain silent. Teaches lock classroom doors, turn out
lights and wait for first responders to open door.
Evacuate is called to move students and staff out of the building. Fire drills are held according to state law
once a month. Exit routes are posted in each room and explained by teachers during the first week of class.
When the fire alarm sounds, the Emergency Response Plan for Evacuate is followed. Students should SI-
LENTLY follow the exit route from the building. Everyone should remain at a distance of at least fifty feet
from the building until the signal is given to re-enter. In the event of a blocked exit, students are to follow the
directions given by a faculty member to the most easily available exit.
Any student turning in a false fire alarm will be reported to the civil authorities, since this is consid-
ered a federal offense considered a federal offense.
Shelter is called whenpersonal protection is necessary. Students and staff are moved to a safe location
within the building. Tornado Drills. In the event of a tornado warning, CMH would be alerted directly by
public safety officials and by the emergency siren system located in Buchner Park. The Emergency Re-
sponse Plan would be activated for Shelter. Notification of this response is made over the public address
system. Teachers and students are to implement the directions to the posted shelter area quickly. The tor-
nado siren is occasionally tested and is no cause for alarm at that time.
