CHS Check Out Policy
CHS students will be allowed to check out with a parent/guardian note only. A parent/guardian phone number will need to be included on the checkout note for verification purposes.
***No phone call checkouts will be allowed because of safety concerns.
CHS is a closed campus and we strongly discourage students from checking out at lunch. This typically causes unnecessary tardies and classroom interruptions. If a student is checking out at lunch, a parent/guardian must physically come in and sign the student out and them back in from lunch.
Only a parent/guardian is allowed to drop lunch off for a student. If a parent/guardian is dropping off lunch for a student, there will be a table (outside the office) with a sharpie for the students name to be written on it. Students should know in advance that lunch is being dropped off to them.
CHS Yearbooks
Yearbooks may be purchased online at:
Jan 14 - Feb 9 $50
Feb 10 - Mar 31 $50 Plain book only. The opportunity to purchase a personalized book is over.
All orders for personalized books must be placed online! These orders will not be taken in person.
There is an additional $5 surcharge for books purchased in person. This is to cover the tax that is collected online.
