Badges are in and were given to students! This procedure begins Monday.

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.

Students will receive (5) disciplinary points for NOT wearing their badge. The first badge is complimentary, lost badges will cost $5. Students that didn't get their badge (absent on both picture days or new to HHS) will not be penalized.

Beginning Monday, August 12, all drivers on campus MUST have a parking tag displayed in their vehicle. Any vehicle without a tag is subject to search and a fine or being towed. Students that drive to school must have a parking pass.

If your child has not picked up his or her 1-1 laptop (9-11 graders), please make sure that is resolved early this week. Teachers are beginning to assign work that require computer use in class. The student needs bring the district contract signed to receive the computer. Paying the $30 insurance fee will cover the laptop if it needs repairs. If the fee is not paid, repairs will need to be paid for out-of-pocket and are typically much more expensive than the $30 insurance fee. Please contact Natalia Fallon in the library if you have any questions: Natalia.fallon@ccstn.org.

All student drivers MUST have a parking pass! Parking Tag Info: {Letter} designates Lot {Number} designates Spot ex. S-001 will be Senior Lot spot 001 AFTER we get paved.

CCSD expected to have the HHS parking lot paved this summer. Parking pass numbers were printed with our "new" parking spots. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out therefore the spots still have the old numbers. For students that will be driving to HHS this school year... you must park in your respective lot (S or B) only, not necessarily in your actual spot since it isn't numbered correctly. Your daily parking spot will be determined by how early you arrive and what spots are available at the time you get to school. When the parking lot is paved we will then enforce the actual parking spot."

Any student that didn't purchase a parking pass, has insurance and a license, MUST purchase a parking pass. They will be available during lunch the first week of school. Student must have a copy of a current insurance card and driver's license, plus the signed permission form. Click Here for the form or go to the HHS website.

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.

CCSD Board of Education passed a policy stating that hats may not be worn in the school building unless it is a designated "Hat Day". Thank you for cooperating with this Dress Code.
