Driving School- With Scholarships!
On time arrival
Kudos to all of the students who make on time arrival a priority! Please be advised that the school day begins at 7:45am. Arrival after this time constitutes tardiness, will be recorded, and could have academic ramifications. During the school day, a warning bell is rung one minute prior to the late bell each period. To assist with ensuring that students focus on arriving on time, we will be conducting periodic “hall sweeps” where students will be documented and parents contacted. Continued “hall sweep” infractions will be addressed using progressive discipline. Please focus on getting to class on time!
Hall sweeps
Beginning Monday, November 8th, Hall sweeps will occur at the late bell. Teachers will be directed to lock their door when the late bell sounds. There will not be a countdown. I appreciate your efforts at arriving to class on time. For those that do not, we will use these progressive discipline measures to address tardiness:
1st instance- Verbal warning
2nd instance- Phone call home
3rd instance- Parent Conference
4th instance- ISS for a period
5th instance- ISS for the day
6th instance and subsequent infractions- Suspension
Mandatory Uniform
Please be advised that we are a mandatory uniform school. Though we have loosened the requirements, at minimum you must have some type of black pants and a green shirt under your outerwear item. Those failing to wear the uniform will receive parent contact.
Morning Show
Please find the first Morning Show from the TV Productions Team for the year! Excellent work TV productions!
Cyberbullying campaign
At CHF we foster an environment that is free of any bullying or harassment. This includes cyberbullying which is pervasive throughout our society. Please see this wonderful video created by our TV productions team that is directed at fighting this scourge. Let’s work together to eradicate bullying in all fashions wherever it is found!
