First Day of School for Freshmen

They will be the only students in the building so they are better able to navigate and learn the building before the remaining students return. Students should bring their schedules and a writing utensil only.

School Supplies
Students should bring daily: a charged school-supplied Chromebook, personal earbuds or headphones, and their Jefferson County Public Library Card, along with paper and writing utensils. Besides these, there is no formal school supply list before school starts. All students will learn what they need to bring to class on the first day of school from individual teachers. A main staple to have is a sturdy and large backpack.

Attendance
Attendance is taken every period, every day, including Advisement. Students are expected to be on time and attend regularly. Tardies and unexcused absences can result in lunch detentions. An auto dialer is sent out on a daily basis if your student has unexcused absences. If you are requesting an early dismissal, please call the attendance line at 303-982-3556. This pass will NOT be delivered to your student. Your student must retrieve this pass from the attendance office in order to be dismissed from their class. The student then needs to sign out of the attendance office before leaving the building. Guardians do not need to sign out in the office. When the student returns to school (either late or after an appointment) the student must sign in in the attendance office. In order to excuse an absence, you must call the attendance line at 303-982-3556 within 24 hours. Parent notes will not be accepted. For more information, see our Attendance Policy.

Grading
A student is graded on their content knowledge and work habits all together in one grade. CSH uses the standard A, B, C, D, F grading scale. Each teacher will explain their grading process to the students at the beginning of each semester and in their syllabus. The late-work policy is determined by the teacher.

Cellphones
Students are able to bring cellphones to school, but can only use them in the classroom if directed by their teacher. Any items that become a distraction in class can be taken away by any CSH staff member and returned at a later time. These items may be confiscated by teachers and delivered to the main office. Confiscated items may need to be picked up by parents. The telephones in the main offices and rooms are for school business only. Parents should only call their student at school if it is an emergency. The school and faculty are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or confiscated cell phones. For this reason, the school encourages students to leave all cell phone devices at home. See teachers’ syllabi for individual classroom expectations. Taking photographs or video of students/school personnel is prohibited.

Devices
All Freshmen will be given a district TechforEd chromebook in August that they will keep throughout their four years of high school in Jeffco. They will rent this device for $50/year. Students will be expected to have their devices fully charged every day. Students do not need to bring in any other device, as Chatfield will be issuing the Chromebooks for students. Distribution will be done during Freshman orientation. Middle-school loaner devices must be returned (with charger) before you can pick up your new district issued chromebook. Chatfield will collect those and return them to your middle school. School-issued devices are the only way to take tests and print, so it is important that they use this device while at school.
You can find out more information about the TechforEd program here.
