2024-2025 Dear Catholic Memorial High School Students and Parents: What follows in these pages are all the daily procedures and policies we use to create a climate and culture that reflects our Memorial Values and maximizes student learning. We encourage students to use this planner throughout the school year. You will notice the days are organized to record daily homework and tasks for each student’s classes. There is room for planning and important notes and a daily events section that informs students of special activities. There is also a section that includes generic information, maps, formulas, and tables that can be useful as a reference guide. At Catholic Memorial, we take seriously our mission to educate students as individuals, intellectually and spiritually. We consider our parents as partners in the duties and responsibilities associated with raising up our students to work to their highest, God-given potential, and to prepare them to become leaders who serve the Church and the world. Good attendance, good behavior, academic and moral integrity, and a strong work ethic are essential ingredients for student success. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of being at school every day, on time, and ready to learn. This planner includes the Catholic Memorial High School handbook which reviews our expectations of attendance, behavior, and corresponding discipline for our students and families. Please review and refer to it often. Popular parenting and family book author Denise Witmer tells us that, “a new school year means new beginnings, new adventures, and new challenges.” May God bless our Catholic Memorial community in this exciting new year. Our Lady of Memorial, pray for us! Catholic Memorial Administration NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION Catholic Memorial High School is a non-profit organization.

Indicators of Catholic Identity MESSAGE: • Employees and students understand, accept, and live the Vision, Mission, and Values as outlined in the school Vision and Mission statements. • In accordance with moral teaching of the church, education at Catholic Memorial is holistic and addresses the emotional, physical, social, intellectual, theological, and spiritual development of our students. • While acknowledging that non-Catholics are welcome in the Catholic Memorial community, it is expected that, as Catholics, all community members will be active, participating members of a particular parish and of the wider Church. • Catholic Memorial is committed to providing Adult Spiritual and Theological Formation to meet the spiritual needs of faculty and staff and provides opportunities for faculty retreat and adult involvement in prayer services, liturgies, reconciliation services, and service projects. • Students participate in daily Theology classes for freshman, sophomore and junior years and seniors participate in every-other-day elective Theology courses. • The Gospel of Christ is presented in a variety of ways to all members of the school community, e.g., monthly all school liturgies, regular chapel liturgies, all school prayer, prayer services, reconciliation services, retreats, Campus Ministry projects/activities, and service projects/activities that take place throughout the school year. 4

COMMUNITY: • Accepting that “catholic” means “universal”, as a Catholic faith community we take seriously our responsibility to be welcoming and hospitable to all, especially those new to Catholic Memorial. • Employees and students are invited and encouraged, in the light of Catholic social teaching, to show compassion and respect to all persons regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status or religion. • All clubs, extracurricular activities, and events open to the public are opportunities for members of the Catholic Memorial community to proudly witness to their Catholic faith and to demonstrate in Omnibus (Charity in All Things). • Retreats on all levels are designed to build up and nurture our relationship with God and with others: students, faculty, and staff. SERVICE: • Service opportunities are built around identified needs to assist others within this school community, at the students’ home parishes, in the local community, and on a national and global level. • All school prayer services, daily morning and afternoon prayers, and classroom/team and activity prayers, consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church on social justice and respect for the dignity of the person, are implemented throughout the school year. • As members of this school faith community, we are challenged to live out on a daily basis our Catholic Memorial motto, Caritas in Omnibus (Charity in All Things). HISTORY Catholic Memorial High School was founded out of the dream of visionaries in the Waukesha County area. In the early 1920’s, the parishioners of St. Joseph Parish raised a fund of $10,000 for a future high school. Their goal of providing a high-quality Catholic education for the area’s youth remained strong and unwavering. Not even the Great Depression could shake the determination of this dedicated group. Even as businesses failed and individual livelihoods were threatened, dollars were put away to invest in this dream. This fervent hope became reality in 1949 when CMH opened its doors as a parochial school for St. Joseph Parish in Waukesha. Ninety-seven freshmen started attending classes in September of that year. The school was named in gratitude as a memorial to the twenty-three young men of St. Joseph’s who gave their lives for their country in World War II. Later, the dedication of the school was extended to include all graduates of Catholic Memorial who have died in service to their country. When the doors of the school opened, the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity of Manitowoc were here and opened their hearts to our community. For more than fifty years, CMH relied on their constant service, their tremendous presence, and their considerable care. The Sisters left CMH in June of 2002. The growth and vitality of CMH soon resulted in the school’s serving as the first home of a new parish in Waukesha, St. Mary’s. The parish even held its first Masses at CMH. During the first ten years of its existence, enrollment at CMH grew to more than 500 (the stated capacity of the original building). In 1959 it became an Archdiocesan Catholic high school for the parishes of Waukesha County. An addition was completed for use beginning in September 1961 which included more classrooms, a cafeteria, and the first gym. Six years later, the chapel, library, and theater were added. These two projects spoke to all of the needs of the developing student: spiritual, academic, physical, and social. Phase I of another addition was completed in 1991. This new wing at the southwest corner of the building houses science, art, math, and foreign language facilities. In 1993, a gift from a will made by Stephen Weber more than 40 years earlier was given to the school. This gift remains the school’s largest donation. Subsequently, the original 1961 gym was named to honor Stephen’s mother, Julia Weber. Phase II was started in 1997 and was completed in 1998. This included the new INPRO ATHLETIC CENTER, named after the company of a generous donor. This phase also included repairs needed on the original building, two new computer labs, and a renovated theater. During this effort, the theater’s stage was named “The Grasch Family Stage,” in gratitude for a generous gift. Throughout its history, the school’s mission of educating the whole person has remained constant and unshakable. CMH provides young people with an academically strong education, a firm Catholic foundation, and an awareness of their own self-worth and that of others. 5

CMH COAT OF ARMS The Coat of Arms of Catholic Memorial High School is a shield divided into quadrants by a cross on which are emblazoned the words Caritas In Omnibus, the school motto. The upper left quadrant contains the school monogram, CM, symbolic of the student body. An altar with the incense of sacrifice rising to heaven in the upper right quadrant symbolizes the generous offerings of the many who made the existence of Catholic Memorial a reality. The crossed hands of Christ and St. Francis, the Franciscan Coat of Arms, occupy the lower quadrant and represent the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity who served the school from 1949 to 2002. The dedication of the school as a living memorial to those who gave their lives for their country is signified by the bugle and Flanders Field in the lower right quadrant. (Refer to front cover.) CMH MOTTO Catholic Memorial as “the caring place” has evolved directly from the application of the motto, Caritas in Omnibus, which means “Charity in all things.” This motto is adopted from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians. CMH TEAM NAME The name “Crusaders” was first used for Catholic Memorial students by a former sports editor of The Waukesha Freeman. The definition, “those who fight for a just cause,” fits with the school’s dedication as a living memorial. The name continues to be used for Catholic Memorial’s teams. CMH FLOWERS The school flower is the poppy, the flower universally recognized as representative of those who died in World Wars. CMH COLORS Marian blue and Pontifical gold are the colors of Catholic Memorial. Blue is the color symbolic of loyalty, the virtue of crusaders and soldiers. It is also the color of Our Lady; under whose patronage the school has been placed. Gold, the color of the papacy, is a reminder that Catholic Memorial is a Catholic high school belonging to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. CMH CRUSADER CROSS The Maltese Cross is a Crusader’s Cross worn first by the Knights Hospitaller of St. John the Baptist. Also known as the Knights of Malta, they wore this cross into the Battle of Lepanto on October 7th, 1571. It was after this naval victory that the feast of Our Lady of Memorial (Our Lady of Victory) was instituted. The four arms of the cross (four arrowheads of martyrdom intersecting) represent the four Gospels’ focus on Christ, as well as the Cardinal Virtues of Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude. The eight points represent the Beatitudes, the eight knightly virtues, and, for us at CMH, the eight values of the Memorial Way. 6

GENERAL INFORMATION SCHOOL CALENDAR The 2024-2025 CMH School Calendar can be found on the school website (www.catholicmemorial. net/) and on MYCMH. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARENTS Catholic Memorial recognizes and acknowledges the role of parents to be the primary educators of their child. Our goal is to partner with parents in the formal education of your child. Inherent in choosing Catholic Memorial for your child is the understanding and expectation that parents will support the CMH mission and its commitment to the principles of Catholic values and faith formation. Parents are also expected to support and adhere to the policies and procedures outlined in the school’s handbook and demonstrate behaviors aligned with good moral and ethical principles. Parents are not permitted to interfere with the operation of the school nor display distrustful, disruptive, or harassing behavior toward parish/school staff. At CMH we place priority on students having at least one trusted adult in the building that they can turn to for advice or support. Our faculty and staff are very committed to the welfare of our students. While students can confide in the faculty and staff, it is important for parents and students to understand that all adults in the building must report any information they learn that places the student at personal risk or places another student, teacher, member of the staff or the school as a whole at risk or in danger. Faculty and staff are mandated reporters. In addition, they are required by employment policy to report any violation of school rules.

Catholic Memorial High School abides by the Gender Theory Policy of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. This policy is put forth for parishes, organizations, and institutions of the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Generally, we are to recognize only a person’s biological sex. This policy applies, but is not limited to, all Church employees, personnel, volunteers, and those entrusted to the care of the Church. https://www.archmil.org/ArchMil/attachments/2022GenderTheoryfinal.pdf. Catholic Memorial High School follows all policies stated in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Office of Schools Policy Manual. This manual specifies in greater detail all school policies, of which CMH adheres to and can be found in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Parish and School Policy Handbook. ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS & REQUIREMENTS Requirements for Graduation/High School Diploma Policy: In order to receive a CMH diploma a student must complete in a satisfactory manner our academic program as evidenced by teacher recommendations, the student’s academic performance, and by attaining the appropriate number of required credits. Catholic Memorial High School requires students to finish 26 credits of the courses specified above based on our student course guide. Students are advised to take between 6.0 and 7.5 credits per year with a combination of both required and elective class credits offered based on their year in school to graduate within the standard 4-year high school term. Students are granted credit for courses taken finishing with a score at or above 60% grade point. This grade point is based on teacher recommendations for grading scales and scoring. Grading Scale 100-98 A+ 89-87 B+ 79-77 C+ 69-67 D+ below 59 F 97-94 A 86-83 B 76-73 C 66-63 D 93-90 A- 82-80 B- 72-70 C- 62-60 DThe faculty recommends student advancement in a sequence of courses, and for grade level advancement by awarding passing grades. When a student has successfully achieved the credits for the required courses, this serves as a graduation recommendation for each student. Students participating in the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program, program may opt-out of required Theology courses. The student’s parents must submit a written request to the students’ counselor. The counselor and student will work together to choose courses in place of the required Theology courses. 8

Course Work/Assignments & Assessments: Course work/Assignments serve two purposes: 1) To practice the material being learned in class, and 2) To help students prepare for assessments. Because of the number of classes on a student’s schedule and the amount of work assigned in each class, students should expect homework regularly. While the number of assignments may vary, spans of time with no homework should be viewed as a signal that a student is not fulfilling academic responsibilities. Assignments and handouts for courses are available on CMH web portal. Assessments are an opportunity to demonstrate the culmination of learning (knowledge, skills, or dispositions) acquired in a unit. Assessment formats will vary from course to course. In general, assessments should be assumed to significantly impact a student’s overall course grade. Students who are absent are expected to be responsible for, and to take the initiative in, learning about assignments and assessments scheduled during an absence. Students are also expected to take the initiative in making arrangements with teachers for makeup work deadlines. This should be done on the day of return to classes. This also applies to students on vacation. For a single day of absence, any missed test must be made up the day the student returns (the teacher may adopt a late test policy for a specific class, and this overrides the above). Long term projects, such as term papers, which are not submitted on the due date because a student is absent or released on that date, may be considered late. Such projects should be submitted early or sent to school via a neighbor, a classmate, or a parent. In cases of severe and/or prolonged illness, the teacher may deviate from this policy. ACADEMIC AND BEHAVIORAL PROBATION Academic and behavioral probation is a safeguard to prevent students from failure. In an effort to encourage success, each student on academic probation will be periodically evaluated by a committee consisting of the Principal, Dean of Students, Student Services Team, Academic Resource Teachers, appropriate school counselors and/or teachers. All first-year students to CMH are considered to be on academic probation for their first year. Inadequate progress may result in dismissal from school. “Inadequate progress” is typified by, but not limited to, the following: • Failure in two (.5) credit courses in one semester • Disciplinary probation • Inability to adjust socially • Excessive absences/tardiness • Low motivation for attending CMH • Significant discrepancy between ability and performance • Anti-social behavior not necessarily reflected by demerits • Excessive demerits/referrals • Low cumulative GPA Recommendations may include, but are not limited to, asking that the student: • Have structured use of the Academic Resource Center during open periods • Participate in a professional counseling program • Report periodically to an assigned mentor throughout the school year as a condition of attendance • Attend summer school or the equivalent and make up the failed class(es) (within home public school district) • Be counseled to withdraw from CMH. Re-admittance would be based upon a decision of the administration • Adhere to a formulated academic and/or behavioral plan of assistance ACADEMIC SERVICES Catholic Memorial High School is committed to providing a number of academic support services to increase student comprehension, content mastery and academic success. These services include the Academic Resource Center (ARC), the Student Support Team, specialized support classes such as Learning Lab and Literacy Extension, the Counseling Center, and the visibility of individual learning progress in every class through MYCMH. 013891_5160 9

Counselors Counselors are available to speak with students throughout the course of a day regarding personal concerns, for academic support/resources and/or career and college direction. Each student has a counselor assigned to them based on the student’s last name (see the breakdown below:) A-J: Mrs. Lindsey Edquist K-Sc: Mr. Patrick McAndrew Sd-Z: Mr. Chris Benyousky MYCMH Web Portal MYCMH web portal is the website that CMH uses for school and class organization. The service provides hosting and database support for the school. It’s aimed at improving communication between parents, students, and teachers. Notable features of MYCMH web portal includes the ability for students and parents to check itemized grade reports, report cards, classroom attendance, homework assignments, class calendars, and the ability to access documents and presentations that may be used in class. Athletic and extra-curricular programs also use MYCMH web portal as a communication vehicle. Availability of Teachers Teachers are in classrooms between 7:10 a.m. and 7:25 a.m. and again between 2:45 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. to assist students with make-up work, discuss projects, and assist with whatever the students may need. Teachers who also coach or moderate other extra-curricular activities will usually not be available in the afternoon during their respective seasons since they report to those activities immediately after classes. These teachers will make alternative arrangements with their students. Student Support Services The Student Support Team assists students and families in many ways. A committee made up of the school counselors, Principal, Dean of Students, and Academic Resource Teachers meets regularly to identify students’ needs. Individualized programs are designed to support spiritual, emotional, behavioral, and/or academic growth. Students can be referred to the attention of the Student Support Team by parents, teachers, and staff. Parents are welcome to call any team member to discuss what can be done to encourage success for students. Since all Catholic Memorial faculty and staff are mandated reporters, any student sharing information regarding abuse/neglect to self or others will be reported pursuant to State Statutes 48.98(2). Summer School Students may take a summer school course within their home public school district. These classes should be approved by a school counselor in order to approve the credit. The exceptions are: CMH only offers PE, Health, and Theology for credit recovery for one or more of the following reasons: 1. Make-up due to a course failure 2. The student has a full course load and cannot fit in other courses needed 3. The student needs a study hall to enhance opportunity for academic success Should a student wish to take summer school courses before course registration at another school, the following procedures need to be followed to obtain approval: 1. The student should present a description of the desired course to their school counselor. 2. The student should provide a rationale for taking a summer school course. 3. The counselor will bring the student’s information to the Director of Counseling for approval. 4. It is the student’s responsibility to have the summer school institution send the final grade(s) to the Director of Counseling. Transfer Policy for Accepting/Denying Transfer Credits: Students interested in transferring to Catholic Memorial from a different high school are required to submit the following documents for evaluation. The documents listed below must be received by the Admissions Department before the prospective student will be considered for admission: 10

Admission Application $25 non-refundable application fee Complete Transcript (unofficial is acceptable) Clearance Form Specific Course Descriptions as needed Standardized Test Scores (PSAT, PLAN, STS, ACT, SAT) WIAA Eligibility form and athletic physical form. After all forms are received and completed the Admissions Committee will determine acceptance or denial of application. In some cases, the student/family will be asked by the committee to come in for a meeting. The student/guardian will be notified of the admission decision by written letter. Please Note: The student/guardian can also contact the Admissions Department to request a meeting or to schedule a visit/tour of the school prior to attending or registering for classes at Catholic Memorial High School. Upon the notification of the acceptance or denial (upon denial, an appeal can be submitted). The student/ guardian will need to contact the counselor assigned to the student to complete the school registration form, pay registration fee, and schedule classes. Tentative plan for graduation will be set with counselor and student/guardian based on transcript from previous high school determined by student’s transferring credits and unfinished courses required for graduation from Catholic Memorial. Catholic Memorial High School will consider accepting school credit from other institutions to the extent that coursework at the previous institution is documented and in accordance with Catholic Memorial High School’s academic standards. Students must submit an official transcript from their prior school before enrolling at Catholic Memorial. All final determinations for the acceptance or rejection of transfer credits shall be made at the discretion of the school’s Director of Counseling. ATTENDANCE EXCUSED ABSENCES Attendance habits affect both a student’s present and future performance. Most importantly, a student’s absenteeism, which affects class participation and learning, may also adversely impact grades. Students are responsible for all assignments and examinations missed during absences. Wisconsin law, as well as school policy, requires that parents be responsible for students’ presence in school, on school days, from 7:25 a.m. until 2:40 p.m. except when there is “good cause” for absence. Among the good causes defined in Wisconsin Statue 118.15 as: 1. sickness or injury to the pupil, 2. serious illness or death in the immediate family, 3. medical or dental appointments which cannot be otherwise scheduled, 4. unique or special situations which may arise occasionally and for which an excuse has been secured beforehand by the principal. CHRONIC ABSENCES Students are allowed no more than ten excused absences in a semester. Absence is defined as a student missing the majority of the day. Students must arrive at school by 11:00 AM and not be released before 11:30 AM in order to be included as a half-day attendance. The Dean of Students will contact a parent if more than 8 absences, excused or otherwise occur. Both parent and student may be required to attend a meeting to examine their school attendance record in order for continued enrollment at CMH. No excused absences beyond ten will be allowed without verified medical reasons. If an absence is not verified on the day the student is absent, the absence will be considered an act of truancy. Appropriate consequences will follow. and may include: the inability to make up any work missed during the unexcused absence, and notification to the truancy authorities, who may issue a ticket to the student. 11

TRUANCY Statute 118.16 of Wisconsin Legal Code mandates that students are to attend school regularly during the full period and hours that school is in session until such time as the student attains the age of 18 or completes the requirements for graduation. The code states, “Truancy means any absence of one or more days from school during which the school attendance officer or principal has not been notified of the legal cause of such absence by the parent or guardian of the absent pupil… ‘Habitual truant’ means a pupil who is absent from school without an acceptable excuse…for either of the following: 1. Part or all of 5 or more days out of 10 consecutive days on which school is held during a school semester. 2. Part or all of 10 or more days on which school is held during a school semester. The legislature has extended the school attendance enforcement (Statute 118.16) to include penalties for parents who do not prevent a child’s truancy. Parents of students suspected of truancy will be notified by the school and investigated by the appropriate civil authorities. Penalties will include a $50.00 fee and a required meeting with the Administration team. REPORTING ABSENCES Parents should call the school attendance number (262-542-7836) to report that students will be absent prior to 8:00 a.m. No absences will be accepted via e-mail or fax. To accommodate parents’ work schedules, the school’s voice mail system is set up to take calls before the attendance assistant arrives. Information given to the answering machine or attendance assistant should include the student’s name, grade, and the reason for the absence. A student returning from an absence, no matter the length or reason, must report to the attendance officer with verification from a parent/guardian giving the specific reason for the absence. The student will be given an admission slip to return to classes. Students should take care of this business in the attendance office before the 7:20 a.m. warning bell rings. ATHLETIC AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR PARTICIPATION Students who wish to participate in a practice, rehearsal, club meeting, activity, performance or game on any given day, MUST be in attendance for the whole day with the exception of a twenty-minute grace period at the beginning of the day. All students must be to school by 7:45 am each day (8:45 am on late start days) in order to participate in extra-curricular activities. Exceptions may be granted with an official note on letterhead from a doctor’s office or prior approval from a school administrator in advance. EXTENDED ABSENCES A school calendar can be found on the Catholic Memorial website or the MYCMH web portal to help avoid absences due to travel or family vacations. The following procedures to report extended absences should be followed: 1. The parent, not the student, should contact the Attendance Office, using the Vacation Request form found on CMH web portal or in the school office, at least two weeks before the intended absence. 2. An assignment form will be given to the student whose responsibility it is to see that it is completed by all teachers and returned to the office one week in advance of departure. Copies will be given to the student and filed in the office. Ordinarily, no examinations missed because of travel or family vacations may be made up. All students are expected to be present for final exams on the scheduled days. LATE ARRIVAL A student who arrives late to school must report immediately to the office. He/she will receive an admit slip. Oversleeping, missing the bus, needing to stop for gas, etc., are not valid excuses for being tardy. Any excused tardy must be called in by the end of the school day to the attendance line. The total number of days tardy will be recorded. No more than 5 tardies will be excused. Any tardy after 5 excused tardies will be marked as unexcused unless an official doctor’s office note is brought into the school office at the time of arrival. Unexcused tardiness will be issued a minor offense/demerit. (See Minor Offenses: Demerits for consequences.) STUDENT RELEASES Students should not be released from school during unscheduled classes such as study hall. Students are expected to attend all activities as part of their school day, including Masses, prayer services, programs, and other activities directed by CMH. To be released, a student must bring a note signed by a parent that states the specific reason for the release. The student will then receive a release form. Upon returning to the campus, students report to the office. The time of return will be put on the release slip, which serves as a pass back to class. 12

If, in an emergency, a parent must call in a release, the parent must contact the Attendance Office prior to the student leaving the building. Students must always check in and out of the office when released. Failure to do so will result in a warning and then a demerit. APPOINTMENTS Every effort should be made to schedule appointments with dentists, doctors, etc., during times when school is not in session. If this is not possible, students should present a parental note stating the specific type of appointment and time the student is to be allowed to leave school. The student should check back into school after his / her appointment by reporting to the office for an admit slip. An official note from the doctor’s office should be given to the Attendance Assistant. BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS Since no list can cover every situation or circumstance, Catholic Memorial High School reserves the right and authority to terminate a student’s enrollment at any time for any action or behavior or threat of action or behavior, whether written, spoken, or electronic that is considered unethical, illegal, immoral, or contrary to acceptable standards of behavior. Such termination on the part of the school is at the discretion of the CMH administration; such termination may be undertaken with or without regard to civil or criminal actions which may be pending when the behavior is judged by the administration to hinder the moral or physical well-being of others, including members of the Catholic Memorial community, or is detrimental to the reputation of the school. Any student asked to leave Catholic Memorial may not return until one full semester has passed. The student may then reapply after a review by the Principal. Acceptance of a student for return to the student body is at the sole discretion of the CMH administration and will include stipulations for the return. Positive concepts of discipline are built on a belief in the dignity of each person. A central goal of the school is to help students develop self-discipline. Self-direction rather than external control is the aim of true discipline. A climate of mutual understanding, respect, and trust based upon faith in the worth and dignity of each individual does much to promote self-discipline. Students attending a Catholic school are, at all times, representatives to the civic community of the school they attend, the archdiocese that sponsors the school, and the values espoused. Any behavior on the part of the student, which causes negative or adverse publicity for the school, may be a cause for disciplinary action on the part of the school. In addition, any off-campus behavior contrary to the standards of CMH, brought to the attention of school administration, may be investigated and result in sanctions. This includes all forms of communication, including cell phones, online communication, internet, social media etc. Behavioral records will be kept for one year after graduation. Unless it is felt by CMH administration that the behaviors documented and actions taken may later be reviewed for legal, liability, or some other serious cause. Academic records will be kept in perpetuity. CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR It is the teacher’s responsibility to establish and communicate the decorum and procedures for the classroom. It is the student’s responsibility to meet these expectations. Parents will be contacted, and demerits may be issued if teacher and classroom expectations are not met. MINOR OFFENSES: DEMERITS Demerits will be issued for student behavior which is inappropriate but deemed to be minor in nature. • A student who receives a fourth demerit will be notified by the Dean of Students, and the parents will be contacted by phone. • When a student has accumulated six demerits, a major offense will be issued, and he/she will be ineligible to participate in an athletic contest/co-curricular activity. • A sixth demerit will also result in a 2-hour detention and a $50.00 fine. A parent conference with the Dean of Students and/or the Principal will be mandatory. Offenses for which a demerit and/or fines may be given include: 1. Wandering in halls/parking lot during class day Being in the halls or parking lot without permission during the school day is a violation; all students must have passes. 2. Unsupervised areas Being in school areas without adult supervision (auditorium, gyms, music rooms, locker rooms, weight room, Innovation Wing) 3. Improper dress Teachers may issue a demerit for inappropriate dress. (See dress code on page 21.) 13

4. Leaving a mess in cafeteria / or on adjacent properties A demerit will be issued; the student must clean up the mess. 5. Destroying/defacing school property. Damage to desks, tables, lockers, bathrooms, etc. will result in disciplinary actions. 6. Skipping class or study hall Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes and study halls. If a student is absent without an official release, one demerit will be given. A second offense will merit a referral to the Dean of Students. Continuous skipping will result in a conference with parents and possible suspension or other major consequences. 7. Tardiness Students have a five-minute passing time to get to class. Being prompt to class develops respect for the learning process and permits the student to fully benefit from the classroom experience. The teacher will record tardiness for each student in each class, including study halls. A warning will be issued by the teacher to the parents and student for the 4th unexcused tardy. A demerit and detention will be assigned upon the student’s 5th unexcused class tardy. The demerit will be signed by the student, and the Dean of Students will be notified. Chronic tardiness will result in a second demerit. A parent conference will be scheduled with the Dean of Students. A student may be placed on probation for chronic tardiness and serve a 2-hour detention. 8. Abusive language to school faculty/staff After a faculty/staff member has issued a demerit, the behavior will be reviewed by the Dean of Students, and further consequences may be issued, including possible suspension. 9. Defiance of authority / Willful disobedience After a faculty/staff member has issued a demerit, the behavior will be reviewed by the Dean of Students, and further consequences may be issued, including possible suspension. 10. Foul or abusive language to peers After a faculty/staff member has issued a demerit, the behavior will be reviewed by the Dean of Students, and further consequences may be issued, including possible suspension. 11. Disruptive classroom behavior After a faculty/staff member has issued a demerit, the behavior will be reviewed by the Dean of Students, and further consequences may be issued, including possible suspension. 12. Cheating Cheating, from a legal perspective, is a disciplinary infraction. As such, it will incur disciplinary sanctions. More importantly, however, we consider cheating a moral problem and try to help students understand its resulting character depreciation and motivate them toward honesty. Cheating or plagiarizing (using the words or ideas of another person/group/computer generator without crediting the source or sharing and/or copying assignments) in any form will result in a zero and may include no option for a makeup test or assignment. All typed essays will be turned in to the Teams pages so that they can be processed and checked for plagiarism. They will also be processed through a dedicated AI detector. If students cheat, parents will be notified, a written notice will be placed in the student’s file, and punitive action will be taken. Minor offenses can include copying / sharing homework, plagiarism, etc. 13. Minor offenses, the repetition of which is considered a major offense The list of these offenses includes tardiness; altering passes, excuses, or demerits; being in unauthorized areas, e.g., health room when nurse is not present; food or drink outside of the cafeteria; playing cards/games; misuse of the computer network. Repetitive behavior will be reviewed by the Dean of Students. Suspension or other major consequences may result. 14. Inappropriate use of the key fob. 15. Parking violations A demerit and a $20 fine will be imposed for parking illegally in areas assigned to school personnel and guests. Cars must be parked within designated painted spaces. Students may not park in the circle drive, faculty lot, fire lanes, or handicapped spaces 16. Technology Devices, including Smart/Cell phones, other smart devices, laptops and wearable technology (all types of earbuds, smart watches, and headphones) policy The use of cell phones, earbuds, smart watches during the school day has become increasingly distracting to the learning environment. Additionally, cell phones and smart watches have been used as tools in cheating, bullying and isolating behaviors. Parents partnering with parents on such concerns is important. Thank you in advance for your support. To ensure a positive atmosphere for all students, CMH has instituted the following technology policy. 14

CMH prohibits students from all cell phone use during the school day including class periods, study halls, lunch and passing times. This includes photo, video, text messaging, audio playback and recording. Phones may not be visible or used by any student from 7:25 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. Cell phones may not be stored in clothing pockets or carried by hand. Cell phones must be turned off and stored in backpacks or lockers. Additional wearable type devices such as smart watches, earbuds etc. that can send and receive messages are restricted as well. Laptops and computers must be used for appropriate educational purposes. If a cell phone is in plain sight during the school day, the student must surrender the device to a CMH staff member without objection or hesitation. The following consequences apply: First Offense. The teacher takes the technology from the student and turns it into the office. Student receives a warning and will notify parent of warning. A $10 fine is assessed to be paid as soon as possible. Technology is returned at the end of the day. Second Offense. The teacher takes the technology from the student and turns it into the office. The student is issued a demerit and notifies their parent. A $10 fee is assessed to be paid as soon as possible. Third Offense: The teacher takes the technology from the student and turns it into the office. The student is issued a demerit, a detention and notifies their parent. A $50 fee is assessed to be paid as soon as possible. The Dean of Students will notify the parents and additional consequences may be given to students who get to a third technology offense. A student may not call or text a parent during the school day unless with permission from the Main Office. Parents are asked not to contact, phone or text their students by cell phone until after 2:40 p.m. In the case of an emergency or the parent needs to contact their child during school hours, the parent may call the main office at 262- 542- 7101. CMH reserves the right to confiscate electronic devices from students who violate the technology policy. School administration may observe cell phone history including voicemail, text messages, photographs etc. Violations of school policy may involve legal authorities. CMH is not responsible for lost, stolen or broken cell phones. Teachers may occasionally allow student cell phones and other devices to be used in the classroom for specific educational instruction and only when authorized by the classroom teacher for that purpose. All fines collected go into the Caritas Fund. The Caritas Fund has been established to assist students in need and provide for expenses not covered by Tuition Assistance, including lunch and textbook fees. MAJOR OFFENSES Several kinds of behavior constitute more serious disruptions of the learning environment and will be addressed with more severity than demerits. Conduct not reflective of the CMH core moral values and/ or the spirit of CMH will be reviewed by the Dean of Students. 2-hour detention consists of a) Serving detention time of 2 hours during non-school hours; b) Paying a fee of $50 (a parent may attend the detention service with their student to waive the fee). All major offenses shall be communicated to the Dean of Students by written referral. Major offenses, subject to referral, may include the following: 1. Six demerits 2. Chronic skipping of class 3. Flagrant disrespect 4. Fighting 5. Cheating (repeated or on an assessment) (Cheating that occurs within an IB or AP class may have additional consequences.) 6. Property abuse 7. Chronic disruptive behavior 8. Chronic tardiness 9. Endangering safety of self / others 10. Stealing Parents will be notified immediately of the first offense; the student will be suspended for one day and placed on probation. A second offense will result in a meeting with parents and possible expulsion of the student. 11. Using drugs and / or alcohol whether on or off campus, during or outside of school hours 12 Truancy 15

13. Use of drugs or possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia (including smoking of controlled substances and use of alcohol and abuse of prescription drugs). If a student is found to be in violation and agrees to go through a drug/alcohol assessment and follow the assessment recommendations upon the first offense, that student shall receive one day of suspension and will be placed on probation. If a student refuses the assessment, a meeting with the parents will result in the probable expulsion of the student. A second offense will result in a hearing and probable expulsion. 14. Vaping, smoking or the possession of cigarettes (electronic cigarettes, vapes, juuls, cigars, pipes, etc.) or chewing tobacco within two blocks of school or at school functions. Parents will be notified immediately of the first offense; the student will serve a suspension and the student will be fined $50. Parents will again be notified if a second offense occurs, and another $50 fine will be assessed. In addition, the student will be suspended for one day and placed on probation. A third offense may result in a meeting with parents and the probable expulsion of the student. 15. The use or suspected use of alcohol. The Principal or his/her designee is authorized to administer a breathalyzer test to any student who is reasonably suspected or shows evidence of consuming or having consumed any alcoholic beverage while on school grounds or at a school-sponsored event. The Breathalyzer device to be used is certified as accurate and reliable by the Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Local law enforcement may also be called to perform a breathalyzer test on a student. If the test produces a positive result indicating that the student has consumed alcohol, the student’s parents will be called to remove the individual from the school or the school-sponsored event. The student will be immediately suspended pending further disciplinary action. Disclosing student test results will be limited to the student, parent, and administrative staff. If a student refuses to perform the Breathalyzer Test, the student’s parents will be called, and arrangements will be made to take the student home. The student will also be denied access to school or the school-related event and be immediately suspended pending a further hearing. 16. Unexcused leaving of the school premises and /or forging a pass from a parent No student may leave the premises without an official release form obtained in the Attendance Office before the specified release time. If a student leaves without a release, a) Parents will be notified immediately of the first offense, and the student will be suspended for one day. b) Parents will again be notified if a second offense occurs, and the student will receive another one-day suspension. In addition, the student will be placed on probation. c) A third offense will result in a meeting with parents and the probable expulsion of the student. 17. Pranks / Vandalism The behavior will be reviewed by the CMH administration, with possible police involvement. Parents will be notified. Suspension and / or dismissal may result. Expenses for repair or replacement will be charged to the student. 18. Conduct disregarding the safety of students and faculty / staff the behavior will be reviewed by the Dean of Students and/or the Principal. Suspension and / or dismissal may result. REFERRALS A student will be referred by a teacher to the Dean of Students if a major offense is committed or continuous negative behavior is demonstrated. The purpose of a referral is to identify a student in need of a plan of action resulting in positive behavioral changes. The plan may include probationary status for the student and specify guidelines for continued enrollment. PROBATION A student may be placed on probation by referral if a major infraction occurs, when problematic behavior becomes repetitive, when there is an attendance or academic concern. The purpose of probation is to provide a student with the necessary guidance to positively affect attitude and behavior. Conditions of probation include: • A written plan of action. • Specific guidelines for continued enrollment. • Input from teachers, counselors, parents, and administration. • Regular evaluations by the CMH Administration. • Possible assistance from outside agencies. Failure to comply with the sanctions of probation may lead to expulsion or a request to withdraw. 16

SUSPENSION Action taken to suspend students must be preceded by internal school procedures and supported by defensible records. 1. Suspension is justified only in unusual circumstances and maybe an in-school or out-of-school suspension. 2. Prior to any suspension, the student must be advised of the reason for the proposed suspension. The parent or guardian of a suspended student is given prompt notice of the suspension and the reasons for the action. 3. In-school suspension can be directed for varying lengths of time as decided by the principal but should not exceed five days. In-school suspension conditions are to be determined by the building principal and Dean of Students. In-school suspension students remain the responsibility of the school. 4. Out-of-school suspension is considered a rarity and is the responsibility of the principal and Dean of Students. A maximum of five days can be imposed unless a written notice of an expulsion hearing is scheduled. Such notice shall allow not more than a total of fifteen consecutive school days to be served in suspension until the expulsion hearing is held. Out-of-school suspension may be given by the principal immediately following a serious disciplinary offense. Such a suspension is for investigative purposes. EXPULSION As a definition, expulsion is considered a termination of enrollment, permanently or for an extended period of time. Expulsion shall be considered as a rarity and used only as a very last measure. Expulsion results from repeated refusal to obey school rules or from conduct which endangers property, health, or safety of others, and is deemed to be in the best interest of the school. An extremely serious single offense may also be cause for expulsion. Students asked not to return the following year for behavior reasons are considered expelled. Students not allowed to return due to failure to meet required academic standards are not considered to be expelled. These academic requirements are well-articulated in the student handbook. EXPULSION PROCEDURES 1. The actions and procedures for probation, suspension or expulsion shall be published in the school handbook. 2. Actions taken to suspend or expel students shall be preceded by internal school procedures and supported by defensible records. 3. Expulsion can take place only after an expulsion hearing has been held. Parents/legal guardians shall be notified in writing at least five days before the hearing is to take place; this notification period can be waived by mutual consent of the parents and the school if an expedited hearing date is advisable. The hearing committee composition should ensure objectivity and procedures should be clearly identified in the school handbook. 4. The hearing committee makes a recommendation to the principal. The recommendation will be to: • expel • suggest other disciplinary actions in lieu of expulsion • exonerate the student of any wrongdoing 5. Before the hearing is held the parents and student are informed that the student may be voluntarily withdrawn up until the time that the final disciplinary action that is approved takes effect. 6. If the decision to expel the student is made, parents are notified, in writing, of the action. The right to appeal is made known to the parents. APPEAL The student or his/her parent or legal guardian may within five (5) school days following the notification of the expulsion appeal the decision to the president in writing with rationale for appeal. The president will review the facts and investigate that correct procedures were followed as defined by Archdiocesan and school policy. If procedures were not followed, the president will refer the issue back to the school administrator with a recommendation about which step of the procedure needs to be further processed. Once a review has taken place and the matter is decided at a local level, there is no additional appeal of the decision at the archdiocesan level. The School Board/Board of Directors is not involved in the expulsion proceedings and is not a source of appeal. 013891_5160 17

NON-HARASSMENT POLICY It is imperative to maintain an educational environment that encourages optimum human growth and development. Respect for the dignity of each person is essential to the Catholic tradition. It is vital to maintain a learning and working environment free of any form of harassment or intimidation toward students. Harassment is defined as a single incident or a pattern of behavior wherein the purpose or effect is to create a hostile, offensive or intimidating environment. Harassment encompasses a broad range of physical or verbal behavior which can include, but is not limited to, the following: • Bullying • Threatening behavior • Racial insults • Derogatory ethnic slurs • Unwelcome sexual advances or touching • Sexual comments, jokes, or gestures • Physical or mental abuse • Inappropriate use of technology If a student should feel harassed in any way, that person should report the incident to an adult. That adult must immediately report that incident to the Dean of Students. An investigation shall be conducted immediately, and if the allegation is confirmed, appropriate action will be taken against the harasser. Appropriate action could include, but is not limited to: • Written documentation of the incident • Disciplinary sanction(s) • Mediation • In-school counseling • Referral to outside agencies • Expulsion/termination Procedure - If a student is observed or has a complaint filed against him / her about an alleged sexual misconduct, the event should be documented encompassing the following information: a. Date and time of misconduct b. Any witnesses or participants to the acts c. The name, address and telephone numbers of any witnesses or participants d. Location where the misconduct took place e. The nature of the misconduct The above information is immediately provided to the Dean of Students. Upon receipt of the report, the allegations will be investigated by Human Services or the Waukesha Police Department. APPEALS PROCESS Probation, Suspension, and Expulsion: Whenever a student’s conduct is such that is demonstrates refusal to obey school rules, endangers the property, health, or safety of others, or consistently disrupts the learning environment, action may be taken to restrict his/her privileges and rights of school attendance. A student has a right to appeal a disciplinary decision to a Disciplinary Hearing Committee selected by the Principal. The guidelines for this process are stipulated in the policies and regulations of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. 18

EXTRA - CURRICULARS Students may not participate in extracurricular activities if they have not submitted an enrollment agreement or if they are delinquent in paying their tuition according to their approved payment plan. ACTIVITIES Catholic Memorial has some athletic and social functions that are sponsored by clubs or classes and are designed to strengthen the bonds that exist within the CMH community. Some of these have become a tradition. All school-sponsored functions are chaperoned and subject to school rules and dress code, unless otherwise indicated. Participation in any after-school activity (meeting, practice, game, performance, etc.) must be preceded by a full day’s attendance in classes on the day of the activity. Students wanting to participate in activities must arrive at school by 7:45 am (8:45 am on late start days). Exceptions may be granted with an official note on letterhead from a doctor’s office or prior approval from school administrator in advance. DANCES Dances are open to CMH students only and quests of CMH students with proper documentation for some dances, and a student’s I.D. card must be presented when the student enters the dance. Students will not be admitted one hour after the dance starts unless prior arrangements have been made with the faculty moderator for the dance. No student can leave prior to one hour before the dance ends. If it becomes necessary for a student to leave earlier, he /she will be asked to phone the parent who will sanction an earlier release with one of the faculty chaperones at the event. Once a student leaves an event, he/she may not return. School dances are not date - associated unless students desire to make them such. If a student desires to bring a guest from another school, a guest pass must be obtained from the dance moderator and returned by the designated deadline. The administration and staff have high expectations with respect to student behavior and dress. Modest and appropriate dress is required. Specifically, girls are expected to wear dresses or tops that completely cover the midriff and bust line, and boys are required to wear shirts throughout every dance. We acknowledge and are concerned about the type of dancing that has taken place at school dances. Our specific concerns are styles of dancing that involve inappropriate touching or physical contact. We ask for and expect parental support on this issue regarding your student’s behavior at a dance. We fully expect a dance to be a great time to socialize and enjoy the music. We also have adults who will chaperone this dance and help enforce this expectation. Thus, if students cannot follow these directions or respect the authority of our chaperones, they may be asked to leave, and the parents called. All school policies are in effect, and school policies regarding drinking alcohol and/or the possession of illicit substances clearly outlined in the student handbook will be rigorously enforced. Random breathalyzers are administered at dances. In the event that anyone is in the possession of or is determined to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be called, and the student removed. In addition, all forms of smoking and vaping are not allowed at these events. The school administration has the right to also involve the police if needed. 1) Homecoming and the Winter Dance are elegant dances. Students are expected to dress up. All attire must conform to the school’s values and the individual student’s dignity. 2) Prom is a formal dinner dance and is open to juniors and seniors only. No freshman or sophomore from Catholic Memorial or any other school is allowed to attend even if he/she is currently dating a junior or senior. Letters giving specifics concerning location, time of dance, cost, and other directives are mailed by the prom committee to parents of all juniors and seniors prior to the event. All attendees will be expected to participate in the pre-Prom mass and post-Prom activities. Students not attending Catholic Memorial who are brought as guests will be required to have their school verify that they are juniors or seniors. CLUBS A variety of interests can be pursued by active membership in one or more of the groups on campus. For a listing of offerings, please see the Catholic Memorial website or MYCMH. ATHLETICS Because physical fitness and the ability to compete, win, and lose graciously are considered valuable qualities for young men and women at Catholic Memorial, a variety of athletic programs are available. Intramural sports are open to every student. The director of the intramural program will announce the sign-up times for each sport as the season approaches. 19

All eligibility rules can be obtained from the Athletic Director. For transfer students, CMH is a member of the WIAA, and adheres to WIAA rules. Detailed codes, policies for each sport, and WIAA transfer rules are distributed to the coaches and may be requested by parents from the Athletic Director. Each participant in a sports program must have adequate insurance coverage with a family policy and must have a legally valid waiver. All athletic forms need to be completed annually and a physical form needs to be completed according to the WIAA regulations. Refer to the WIAAWI.org for physical date requirements. See Activity / Athletic Code on following pages. RETREATS Catholic Memorial values spiritual, intellectual, pastoral, and human formation and fosters these through retreats required for freshmen, sophomore, and senior students and when offered for juniors. Retreats attended through Catholic Memorial do not take the place of the retreat requirements of individual parishes and for this reason juniors are expected to participate in parish retreats in preparation for Confirmation. While parish retreats and those offered through retreat centers are of great value, they should not replace the retreats run through Catholic Memorial. The retreats organized by Catholic Memorial build both individual faith and class/community identity. This cannot be accomplished through retreats offered through other organizations. PROCEDURES ACCESS TO THE BUILDING The Main Office is open each day, except legal holidays, from 7:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. The Main Office will accept messages of an emergency nature for students. Students will be paged at the end of the day only. School doors are locked during the school day. Access to the building will be available through the Main Doors on College Avenue. Students will use their CMH-issued school fob for admittance to the building during morning and after school hours. Students arriving to school after regular morning hours are admitted by the school office after ringing the front bell for admission. Visitors are to sign in and wear an identification badge. Welcome Desk personnel will provide visitors with information about the school and serve as the receptionist for the school. All other doors will be locked during the school day. Since a janitorial service, which is employed to clean the school, generally begins work about 4:00 P.M. Students should anticipate their needs and remove what they wish to take home before 3:30 P.M. Students should not be at their lockers or in the academic halls after 4:00 P.M. A student who needs to be in the halls for any reason during the school day must always have a hall pass. ACCIDENTS Every accident that occurs on school grounds or at school-sponsored events must be reported immediately to the person in charge who will immediately notify the school office or designated on-site administrator/ event manager. The office or administrator will contact parents using their emergency numbers. When emergency transportation to the hospital is required, parents will be informed about where to meet the student and medical personnel. ANNOUNCEMENTS Announcements of schedule changes, athletic events, and club activities are made several times during the school day: 1. At 7:25 a.m. over the public address system 2. At the beginning of third period 3. In the Learning Commons during all lunch periods 4. On MYCMH web portal 5. At 2:40 p.m. over the public address system prior to the day’s closing prayer 6. CMH Memos, a weekly email newsletter, provides upcoming events and school information. All posters put up by students or student groups must be pre-approved by the Dean of Students and removed when the event is over. ASSEMBLIES Assemblies, all-school liturgies, and prayer services are a regularly scheduled part of the curriculum designed to be educational, cultural experiences. All guest presenters will be afforded attention, courtesy, and respect. Since these assemblies are vital components of the total educational program, students should not be excused from them except for emergencies. Honor Attire expectations 20

AUTOMOBILES / PARKING LOT SAFETY All students must register their cars with the school office if they plan to drive a car and park at the school. A limited amount of parking is available on the property. Cars must be parked between yellow lines in designated spaces. Student parking in visitor, handicapped, fire lanes, faculty spaces, etc. is strictly prohibited. Violators will be given a $20 parking ticket. Additional parking is available on city streets. Catholic Memorial has clear safety expectations for all drivers. It is important that all students, parents, and visitors are safe whether they are walking, driving or a passenger. Safe behavior includes: Student drivers and passengers wear seat belts always. No cell phone use, either talking or texting, while the vehicle is in motion. Students need to drive at 10 miles per hour or less in the parking lots. Courteous behavior is expected by waiting for pedestrians and other vehicles. No alcohol or drugs in the vehicle at any time. A Car Registration /Parking Lot Safety form is part of the Back-to-School online form and can be updated on MYCMH web portal. DRESS CODE Catholic Memorial exists to support the faith development and rigorous learning of each student. The school does that in an environment that is safe, respectful, and aware of each person’s dignity. As a result, students are to dress in a way that supports a high-quality education, a Catholic culture of faith, the dignity and worth of each person and the student’s individual responsibility to respect the spirit of the dress code.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Catholic Memorial HS uses the Standard Response Protocol which is endorsed by the Waukesha Police Department and used by all schools in the city of Waukesha for a consistent response. SRP is a classroom safety response based on four separate actions which apply to a variety of emergencies. The four actions are: Lockout, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. Parents will be notified of an emergency by the CMH mass communication service via voice and text. Lockout is called when there is a threat or hazard outside of the school building such as violence or criminal activity. The public address is “Lockout! Secure the perimeter” and is repeated twice. All students are to return to the building while teaching continues. Outer doors remained locked with an increase in situational awareness. Lockdown is called when there is a threat or hazard inside the school building such as an intruder or active shooter. The public address is “Lockdown! Locks, Lights, Out of Sight” and is repeated twice. Students are to move away from sight (windows and doors) and remain silent. Teachers lock classroom doors, turn out lights and wait for first responders to open the door. Evacuation is called to move students and staff out of the building. Fire drills are held according to state law once a month. Exit routes are posted in each room and explained by teachers during the first week of class. When the fire alarm sounds, the Emergency Response Plan for Evacuate is followed. Students should SILENTLY follow the exit route from the building. Everyone should remain at least fifty feet from the building until the signal is given to re-enter. In the event of a blocked exit, students are to follow the directions given by a faculty member to the most easily available exit. Any student turning in a false fire alarm will be reported to the civil authorities, since this is considered a federal offense. Shelter is called when personal protection is necessary. Students and staff are moved to a safe location within the building. Tornado Drills. In the event of a tornado warning, CMH would be alerted directly by public safety officials and by the emergency siren system located in Buchner Park. The Emergency Response Plan would be activated for Shelter. Notification of this response is made over the public address system. Teachers and students are to implement the directions to the posted shelter area quickly. The tornado siren is occasionally tested and is no cause for alarm at that time. HALL TRAFFIC The five-minute passing period between classes allows ample time for students to arrive on time for classes. Students are not to be in the halls or at their lockers when classes are in session unless they have a pass from a staff member. IDENTIFICATION CARDS Each student will be issued an identification card which bears his/her photograph. This photograph will also serve as the yearbook picture for underclassmen. ID pictures will be taken during Back to School Day. The ID card should be always carried and must be shown on request to staff and faculty. This card is used as identification to the chaperones at school dances and extra-curricular functions. The ID card can be pre-loaded with money to purchase food items from the food service in the Learning Commons. Lending an I.D. card to anyone is in violation of school rules. Lost or stolen I.D. cards should be reported to the school office and replacement will cost $10.00. 22

LOCKERS Students are assigned lockers at the beginning of the school year on “Back to School” day. Lock combinations are kept on file in the main office. Students are responsible for the maintenance of their assigned lockers and should not change lockers without permission from the Dean of Students are responsible for their originally assigned lockers. Fines will be assessed for any damage found at the end of the school year. Every locker must be always locked with a school lock purchased from the bookstore. The administration reserves the right to place a lock on any unlocked locker at any time. If a lock is placed on a locker that was not locked, the student must buy it to receive the combination. To prevent other students from removing locks, each student is reminded to turn the dial after snapping the lock shut. Lockers should be kept neat and clean. All food and dishes should be removed daily to prevent offensive odors. School maintenance may remove any leftover food/dishes. Lockers are also available in the physical education locker rooms. All valuables should be locked up while the student is in physical education class.

CATHOLIC MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITY/ ATHLETIC CODE This Activity/Athletic Code encourages students’ spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth. We acknowledge both the rights and responsibilities of students. Participation in activities and athletics at Catholic Memorial High School is a privilege. Sanctions, in addition to those explicitly stated in this handbook might be applied to student participants as judged appropriate by coaches, moderators, and/or school administrators. This code is enforced 365 days per year. 1. Health and Behavior/Compliance - Article VII - WIAA Rules of Eligibility A student may not practice for or participate in interscholastic athletics until the school has written evidence on file in its office attesting to (a) parental permission each school year including an acknowledgment of receiving the school athletic code and WIAA Rules of Eligibility, and (b) current physical fitness to participate in sports as determined by a licensed physician or Advance Practice Nurse Prescriber (APNP) no less than every other school year with April 1 the earliest date of examination. School policy determines when an athlete may return to competition following an injury, except where rule book or WIAA tournament policies apply. Catholic Memorial HS is compliant with all WIAA policy including student-athlete eligibility. Catholic Memorial restricts student-athlete eligibility to four years beginning with their freshman year. Catholic Memorial will not apply for a 5th year eligibility waiver under any circumstance. All families need to understand eligibility rules prior to enrollment and participation in CMH athletics. 2. Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drugs The illegal use or possession of alcohol, tobacco, e-cigarettes, vaping, drugs or drug paraphernalia is strictly forbidden. If a student athlete/activity participant is found to be in violation and agrees to go through an alcohol/drug assessment and follow the assessment recommendations, the athlete/ activity participant will be suspended for 25% of the total scheduled contests. Should the athlete refuse or fail to take the assessment or follow the subsequent recommendations, he/she will be suspended for the remainder of the current sports season and be subject to the school’s Discipline Code. For a second offense, the participant will be suspended for 50% of the total scheduled contests immediately. A suspension will carry over into another season to satisfy it. For a third offense, the participant will lose all remaining eligibility. If a code violation occurs outside of the current season, the suspension will be applied to the next season of a sport for which the athlete has an established history of participation. As a reflection of honesty and character, self-reporting a violation of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs within a 72-hour period from the time of the violation will be given consideration on a case-by-case basis. Catholic Memorial High School reserves the right to have any student involved in extra-curricular activities subjected to a random drug test at any time during the school year. The Athletic Director and Dean of Students at Catholic Memorial will arrange for the assessment procedure and monitor the fulfillment of recommendations. 3. Criminal Acts and Illegal Activities Any student/athlete involved in any act that can be defined as a criminal act or an illegal activity will be found in violation of the activity code. The result of this violation will be a 25% suspension of the total scheduled contests. For a second offense, the participant will be suspended for 50% of the total scheduled contests. For a third offense, the participant will lose all remaining eligibility. It will be the policy of Catholic Memorial High School to fully cooperate with authorities in the investigation of any criminal activities. 4. Performance Enhancing Drugs Performance Enhancing Drugs are banned as per the WIAA. 5. Behavioral Standards The behavior of student athletes/activities participants is a direct reflection on Catholic Memorial High School. A demerit rating of five (5) demerits or fewer must be maintained for each semester. If the demerit rating increases to six (6), the student athlete/activities participant will be suspended for one (1) contest/ performance. At twelve (12) demerits, the student athletes/activities participants will be suspended for 25% of the total scheduled contests, and a meeting with parents will occur. At eighteen (18) demerits, the student athletes/activities participant will be placed on final probation and will lose 50% of season contests. If a major offense is committed, the student athlete/activities participant will be suspended for at least one contest/performance. After a second major offense, the participant will be suspended for a minimum of 25% of contests/performances. Following a third major offense, the participant will lose all remaining eligibility for the year. 28

6. Academic Standards There are two determining factors that affect extra-curricular eligibility. 1) Catholic Memorial High School requires that a student involved in extra-curricular activities achieve a minimum 1.5 GPA in the previous quarter. If the previous quarter grade falls below the 1.5 GPA, the student will be ineligible, starting on the date grades for the quarter are officially posted. The student will be ineligible to practice or participate from the date grades are posted through the end of the next quarter. 2) The WIAA academic requirement states that a student meet school and Department of Public Instruction requirements defining a full-time student and have received no more than one failing grade or incomplete in the most recent grading period (1st quarter, 1st semester, 3rd quarter, 2nd semester). During the academic year, a student may regain eligibility by meeting the academic standards described above following 15 scheduled school days and nights of ineligibility. A student ineligible for at least 15 school days, under this requirement, may not return to competition until the 16th school day. Incomplete grades must be made up within two weeks after the grade-reporting period. Following the last grade-reporting period of the school year, a student may regain eligibility through summer school courses, provided the courses are equivalent to those that caused the ineligibility. 7. Attendance Student athletes/activities participants who wish to participate in a practice or game on any given day must be at school by 7:45 am each day (8:45 am on late start days) in order to participate in extracurricular activities. Exceptions may be granted with an official note on letterhead from a doctor’s office or prior approval from a school administrator in advance. APPEAL PROCEDURE A student and their parents have one week to appeal the Activities Code sanctions. In such a case, a review board consisting of the Principal, Dean of Students, Athletic Director, and head coach of the respective sport or club moderator will hear the appeal and determine the sanctions. The decision of the Review Board will be final. The activity/athletic code, as stated, acknowledges both the rights and responsibilities of students. A student and his/her parents or guardians have recourse if they believe an alleged offense did not occur or sanctions are unjust. In such a case, a review board consisting of the Principal, Athletic Director, and head coach/ moderator of the respective sport or club will hear the appeal and determine the sanctions, if necessary.
