Student Parking Permit Required
Parking registration can be found here: https://al50000063.schoolwires.net/domain/157
Online payments are accepted. Once the parking application is completed and the parking and drug testing fees are paid, students can obtain a parking decal from the HTHS Main Office. See Mrs. Windsor.
CHECK-INS / CHECK-OUTS
Necessary check-ins or check-outs must be processed by the parent through the school’s office. The Board encourages that appointments not of a critical nature be scheduled for times and days when school is not in session. Check-ins/outs are considered excused for the same reasons as excused absences. Excessive check-ins and /or check-outs may result in a home visit by the TCS Student Services Representative.
Parents are encouraged to use caution when checking students out of school for unexcused reasons; students must attend school 51% of the school day’s minutes to be counted present for the entire day. Check outs/Ins count as minutes missed in the student’s school day and could possibly be attributed to an absence for the day. In addition, check ins/ outs are recorded on the attendance profile as subsections of tardy.
*Parents that have student drivers are encouraged to come and sign their child out of school or send a pre-signed note with them that should be turned in at the start of school.
