HUDSON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT HANDBOOK

This handbook has been revised with the input of parents, students, staff and community members to better
prepare you to meet the needs and expectations of our school community. The handbook provides an
overview of the services, procedures and rules of Hudson High School. Take some time to read it and direct
any questions you may have to any teacher. As a student, it is your responsibility to be aware of its contents.

AREAS OF THE BUILDING

A. COMMONS
This serves as Hudson’s kitchen and cafeteria. During lunch periods, students must report to the Commons,
Senior Lunch Room / Atrium / Courtyard, or the Garden of Egan (for underclassmen). During non-lunch
periods, the Commons serves as a study hall area for underclassmen and upperclassmen without flex passes.
A student may sign out the Commons and go to the Math Lab, Writing Lab, ARC, or the Library.

B. LIBRARY/MEDIA CENTER
The library is located on the second floor directly above the office and guidance areas with its entrance
across from the courtyard. Students have access to the library from 7:45 to 3:15 each day. The library
st
program provides classes for students in essential 21 century skills of inquiry, ethical behavior, technology,
information literacy and media literacy as well as reading for enjoyment. Classes are designed and scheduled
with teachers to support their units of study. Students have access to the online catalog, INFOhio databases
