HOSPITAL/HOMEBOUND INSTRUCTION
Students who anticipate a lengthy absence of more than five (5) days due to illness may be eligible for
hospital/homebound services. Contact the Office of School Counseling for eligibility requirements and
procedures.
INTERNET/NETWORK USE
All students who use the Harrison High School network will be oriented to technology and Internet use at the
beginning of the school year. Students must agree to follow Cobb County Board of Education policies with
regard to network and Internet use. Parents who do not want their student using the network or Internet at
school must notify the Principal in writing. Student passwords must be kept confidential and not shared.
MAKE-UP WORK
It is the responsibility of the student to make up work missed due to excused absences. The student must make
arrangements with teachers on the day of his/her return for make-up work for any absence. Make-up work is the
student’s responsibility. Students should check teacher blogs for assignments
Unexcused absences: ABSENCES DUE TO FAMILY/EDUCATIONAL TRIPS MUST BE
PREAPPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE BEFORE THE TRIP IS TAKEN.
Work missed due to an unexcused absence without prior approval will result in a zero and no credit awarded.
Absences due to truancy or failure to return work on the assigned date of return from ISS or OSS:
Students will receive a grade of “0” for all work missed due to truancy (unexcused absences), class cuts or
failure to complete make-up work during the time allotted due to any sort of disciplinary suspension.
PRE-ENROLLMENT FORMS
Students must bring these forms home annually in order for parents to verify if we have the most current
information for the students. This is very important for communication and emergency situations. Students
must submit these completed forms in order to receive a schedule for the following semester.
