HUDSON HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENT HANDBOOK

This handbook has been revised with the input of parents, students, staff and the business community
to better prepare you to meet the needs and expectations of our community. The handbook provides
an overview of the services, procedures and rules of the High School. It also doubles as an
organizational planner—including necessary ―Hall Pass‖ pages toward the end. 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

The commons is an area for juniors and seniors for when not assigned to a class. A student may leave
the Commons and go to Math Lab or may go to the Library by using the stairs in the Auditorium Lobby.
Food and Beverage may not be consumed in the hallways, or in classrooms without teacher permission.
Students who abuse the Commons privilege by wandering around the building will be referred to the
appropriate Unit Principal by the teachers on hall duty. These students may be assigned to supervised
study halls.

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 7:30 to 3:15 each day.
The library program provides classes for students in essential 21st 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 and purchased databases 24/7 through the library website:
http://www.hudson.k12.oh.us/sites/hhsmedia. Passwords to databases are given to all students.
Students may use iPods and MP3 players, work on computers, watch news and educational television
/video programs, create iMovies, podcasts, PowerPoints, and other multimedia products, work in groups
to study or develop projects, or simply to read while in the library. Materials may be checked out for
2 weeks and renewed for another 2 weeks. Fines are 5 cents per day for overdue materials.

C. SUPERVISED STUDY HALLS

A supervised study hall is available throughout the day. All freshmen and sophomores will have
supervised study halls. Upperclassmen who abuse the Commons privilege, have attendance or discipline
issues, and/or are in academic difficulty may be scheduled into supervised study halls or the Academic
Resource Center.
