EMPLOYMENT
Work permits are issued through the Counseling Center. It is suggested that students’ outside employment
be limited to twenty hours per week. Within the limits of scheduling flexibility every effort will be made to
arrange seniors’ schedules to accommodate work experience.
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 the first week of school.
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 fron 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 combina-
tions 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 respon-
sible 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 stu-
dents 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 hallwayr 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 schoolit 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 pur-
suant to the terms of the CMH Tuition Contract. Students who withdraw from CMH are not elligable to par-
ticipate in athletic or extra curricular activities.
