Building Information

New Traffic Patterns for Pick Up and Drop Off/Student Drivers

Entering the Building

Students should always carry their school student ID cards. They should be ready to show their ID upon entering the building after the start of first period. We encourage all students to take a picture of their ID with their phone. They can show this when they enter the building as well.

Volunteers/Visitors and Background Checks

A volunteer/visitor is anyone over 18 who is not a current student. Volunteers/Visitors must have a background check on file with the district and may complete the online registration by going to the district website. This process usually takes between three and six business days. Background checks are good for three years at any school in the district. Parents/ Volunteers/ Visitors entering the building must check in at the Main Office (Door 1 on Olio Road, West side of the building). Parents/volunteers/visitors should have their Safe Visitor badge or driver's license ready prior to check in. If you are unsure if you have a current background check on file, please reach out to Tobi Fields or call the school you are planning to visit. All parents/volunteers/visitors are expected to comply will all rules and regulations set forth by Hamilton Southeastern Schools.

While in the Building

Once a volunteer/visitor has been checked in, they will be escorted to and from their destination by a staff member.

Food in the Building

We do not allow outside restaurants to be delivered by anyone, including parents, to the building for students during school hours.

Deliveries

We do not allow flowers/gifts/balloons to be delivered to students in the building. The delivery person will be turned away and the student will not receive the item(s).

Drop off Personal Items for students

Drop offs to the Main Office (door 1 on Olio Rd.) should be limited to emergencies only and be delivered by a parent or guardian of the student. No passes will be sent for drop offs of personal items. It is the student's responsibility to check at the Main Office.

Attendance

For complete Attendance Policy, please refer to the Student Handbook

ATTENDANCE OFFICE 317-594-4195 | VOICE MAIL AVAILABLE 24 HOURS
“The Indiana Compulsory School Attendance Law requires students to attend school regularly. Regular school attendance improves learning, establishes dependable work habits and allows students to take full advantage of the education opportunities necessary for their development as student and responsible adults.”

WHAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO REPORT ATTENDANCE? ALL DAY ABSENCES AND LATE ARRIVALS

Call the Attendance Office at 317-594-4195 on the same day as the absence. Make sure to state the reason for the absence. Voicemail is available 24 hours a day.
Attendance requests should not be entered via Skyward.
Email will NOT be accepted since we cannot verify the sender.
Parents or guardians have two school days to correct an unexcused absence.

EARLY DISMISSALS

Early Dismissals should be called in by 9:00 AM. This allows the staff adequate time to facilitate the request for dismissal.
Medical documentation for absences for medical appointments is strongly encouraged and is required if on Attendance Warning.
Parents do NOT need to enter the building to sign their student out if the dismissal was called in by the required time.
When an immediate dismissal is required, the parent will need to come into the Main Office to have the student dismissed.

LIMIT ON ABSENCES

Students may not be absent more than 10 days per school year. Both excused and unexcused absences count toward this maximum. After the eighth absence in the first semester, the school will notify and, if necessary, hold a conference with the student and parent to determine whether the student should be permitted to stay in school. (*8 absences or 16 absences to any one period)

COLLEGE VISITS

College Visits must be called in to the Attendance Office. Juniors and seniors are allowed up to 4 college visits, freshman and sophomores are allowed one. College visits are not allowed in May and may not be attached to an existing break (i.e., Fall Break, Winter Break, Spring Break)

LATE ARRIVAL/TARDY

When a student arrives to school after school has started, they must go to the Attendance Office to receive a pass to class. If a student arrives within the first 15 minutes, he/she will be counted tardy. A student more than 15 minutes late will be assigned an unexcused absence from class unless excused by a parent phone call, note or administrative decision.

AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION

Students must attend the last two periods of the school day to participate in after-school activities.

Senior Flex

We encourage students to take a rigorous schedule of courses during their senior year. All current research indicates that a student who does so is more successful at the college and university level. We also encourage seniors to prepare for more than the academic challenges coming in their post-secondary school lives. One of the greatest of these challenges for high school seniors is handling new freedoms and choices open to them after graduation.
