Every three years, Cuyahoga Heights Schools is required to be re-inspected to determine if any known or suspected asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) have changed and to make recommendations on managing the ACBM. All buildings in the Cuyahoga Heights School District have been inspected for asbestos and suspected materials have been sampled to be tested and rated according to conditions and potential hazards. A copy of the asbestos management plan and inspection reports is located in the Superintendent’s Office and can be reviewed upon request.

 

(as mandated by the Ohio Senate’s Missing Child Act)

 

In the event of a student’s absence, it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to notify the school. Ohio attendance laws recognize the following reasons for excused absences: personal illness, family illness, death in immediate family, death outside the immediate family (with permission from principal), school closing, family vacation up to five days. When planning a family vacation during the school year, a note must be brought in one week prior to the vacation.

 

A call to the respective school office should be made on the day of the absence. Elementary absences should be reported by 8:45 a.m. Middle and high school absences should be reported by 8:00 a.m.

 

 

 

The decision to close school will be made as early as possible. In an effort to continue to provide the school community with current information and communications regarding school closings, delayed openings, early dismissal, and other emergency notification information, the Cuyahoga Heights Schools has implemented a parent notification system called One Call Now.

 

 

Parents may review their child’s academic and attendance records by contacting the guidance counselor or principal in your child’s school. The Guidance Office is responsible for maintaining and updating all student records.

 

 

 

At least semi-annually, the Superintendent shall provide to the President of the Board a written summary of all reported incidents and post the incident summary on the District website. The list shall be limited to the number of verified acts of harassment, intimidation and/or bullying, whether in the classroom, on school property, to and from school, or at school-sponsored events.

 

Allegations of criminal misconduct and suspect child abuse will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency and/or to Child Protective Services in accordance with statute. District personnel shall cooperate with investigations by such agencies.

 

 

The Cuyahoga Heights School District receives notification of the entitlement of federal funds, allocated in accordance with the Title VI-B flow-thru application process. Utilization of these funds is designated to provide services and programs for handicapped students.

The application proposal and submission request process are annually presented to the Board of Education for approval and public record.
