Dress Code (HCPSS)
New for 2007 - 08:
(i.e.: IPods, MP3 Players, headphones, CD Players, cell phones…) from the time
they enter the building until the ringing of the bell at 2:10 PM. At the first
infraction, teachers will remind students of the policy and ask them to put the electronic device away. For any recurrences, teachers will call an administrator or
the security assistant. The device will be confiscated from the student. Once the administration confiscates a device, a parent/guardian will need to come to the school to retrieve it. MP3 Players and/or CD Players are not allowed in any
classroom with the exception of headphones needed for specific activities linked
with instruction.
On Tuesday, March 8 parents received an automated phone message informing
them that their child was either late to school or absent from school. This phone
call was placed through use of new software technology called “SchoolMessenger”. SchoolMessenger will call your home between the hours of 6:00pm and 9:00pm Monday through Friday.
The message will inform you that “your child was absent or tardy from one or
more classes” after which, the parent will be directed to provide the attendance
clerk, Ms. Robin Smallwood, a written note within 48 hours to excuse the absence
or tardiness. Please understand that the system calls ONLY when students were
absent for the entire day or were late arriving to school.
The SchoolMessenger system will call the student's home phone number that is entered into Hammond High's system files. Many parents at other high schools, however, have had much more success retrieving this message when it was sent to
a number other than the home phone. If you would like SchoolMessenger to
contact you via an alternate number (i.e.: your cell phone), please contact Ms. Smallwood at 410-313-7615 or email Kevin_watkins@hcpss.org. Barring technological malfunctions, Hammond HS will make use of this technology every school day. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Watkins at the email address above.
If you see any typos, errors, or outdated material, please
