This is a necessary safety procedure we are putting in place for students in our school. This year ALL students will be REQUIRED to wear ID badges.

Students are expected to wear their badges around their necks using a lanyard. ID badges will be passed out this week.

Students will receive (5) disciplinary points for NOT wearing their badge. The first badge is complimentary, lost badges will cost $5.

Students that were absent during our picture day will have their picture taken this Wednesday.

Also, seniors that didn't have their Tux/Drape picture made over the summer will have it taken on this day.

The county sent information about cafeteria charges and a change in our policy. Any student with more than $10 in charges will be given an alternative lunch. To avoid this for your student, feel free to pay the charge online or send money with your student.

PDK at Bellevue One is donating 5% of all sales to HHS every Thursday throughout the school year!!! Feel free to visit the restaurant and enjoy what they have to offer and we would appreciate it if you visited on Thursdays : )

All Freshmen and Sophomores are beginning to receive their laptops. This is a great opportunity for your student to engage in learning in a new and different way. HHS teachers have been encouraged to create learning opportunities that allow students to use these devices so it is important that your student come to school with a fully charged, functioning device. You student will have an expectation form that needs to be signed by the student and a parent. After that is signed and returned the devices will be checked out to the student.

There is a $30 annual deposit for your student's device. This is a protection plan and also that of a lease-to-own option. The $30 covers the risk of loss (power adapter only) or damaged devices while also challenging the students to take responsible ownership of the device since they are personally invested. The deposit will be used to purchase replacement devices as well as further accessories (power adapter and case).

You can send cash with your student to cover the deposit or you may also go to the county's online payment page RevTrak to pay the $30. https://cheathamcountyschools.revtrak.net/harpeth-high-school/hhs-technology/

1. Tardies - See below for the tardy matrix. Students are responsible for arriving to school, and class, on time. If a student is tardy to school or class the consequences listed will be implemented. New Tardy Procedure Select Here

2. Absences - Student attendance at school is required and important for learning. Make sure your student comes to school every day. If absent, students must have a note to be excused. 10 consecutive unexcused and 15 total unexcused could prevent a student from getting a drivers license or result in a revocation of one's drivers license.

3. Absence or Tardy - Parking on campus is a privilege and can be lost. Students consistently tardy or absent could lose their parking privileges. Students parking on school property without permission may result in towing at the owner's expense.

Car rider drop off and pick-up is in the back of the building. The front driveway is reserved for Bus rider drop off (7:15-7:45) and pick-up (2:30-3:00). Do not drop students off or attempt to pick them up in the front of the building during those times.

Schools should be safe places for students to learn and staff to educate your child(ren). HHS is continuing to ensure the building and our students are safe. Our greatest asset is our students, parents and community. If you have a safety concern please share it. You are welcome to call and you can email the Cheatham County email tip line - tip@ccstn.org.

We continue to have various drills throughout the school year to practice procedures to help everyone know and understand what is expected from both students and adults.
