4. Cap and Gown/Senior Memorabilia
Representatives from Jostens will be at CHS on Oct. 25 to present information about caps and gowns, invitations, and other senior memorabilia items during the school day. Jostens will return to CHS on November 4 & 5 from 8:00 pm to 4:00 pm to take orders and payment information. All balances must be paid for before students receive their items. Students must not owe any money in order to participate in the graduation ceremony. Please encourage your student to order what he/she wants, but not more than can be afforded. Any student who can not afford to purchase a cap and gown should contact their counselor or Mrs. Beason.
5. Email Address
Seniors should NOT use his/her Cabot School email address/account when applying for colleges, universities, vocational schools, student aid and/or scholarships. Cabot School email accounts will be deactivated once a student graduates from Cabot High School. Students need a permanent, appropriate email account that can be used all through their college years and beyond.
6. Transcripts
In order for a transcript to be sent to a college/university a student must come to the CHS Counseling Center and fill out the appropriate form. The most transcripts are sent electronically. Immunization records will be mailed separately as they are not a part of a student's electronic transcript. Students do not need to email his/her counselor to request a transcript. They should simply come to the CHS Counseling Center and fill out a transcript request form.
7. Wall of Acceptance
Students are encouraged to bring a copy of his/her college/university/vocational school acceptance letter to Mrs. Angela Beason in room 1115. These letters will be added to a wall in the CHS hallway. For every acceptance letter received, the student's name will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the school year. Please cross out personal information (address, test scores, Student ID, etc).

There are only 217 days until CHS Graduation on May 15, 2020!

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.
