Marietta High School

Students, Parents and Guardians, As part of the Ohio Improvement Process for schools, Marietta High School will end its school day at 1:44 every Wednesday afternoon so the teaching staff can meet within their respective teacher groups. With parental permission, students are permitted to leave the school grounds at 1:44 pm on Wednesdays for the day. For those students who ride a bus or do not have permission to leave at 1:44 pm, students will be monitored in the auditorium. Please see the following points below to some questions that we have fielded regarding TBT Wednesday: 1.) Busing operations and hours remain the same M-F so students who remain at school will be able to ride the bus home once school is dismissed at 2:40. 2.) If Students wish to remain at school, they will need to report to the auditorium- unless given special permission to be elsewhere in the building. 3.) Student pickup on Wednesday only will be the following: Students Last Name A-K (Please pick up on Colegate Side Parking Lot) Students Last Name L-Z (Please pick up on Davis Side Parking Lot) Pickup all other days will be A-K on the Colegate Side Parking Lot 4.) Students cannot loiter outside of school during this time- students either leave for the day or report to the auditorium. 5.) If Inclimate weather would cause MHS to operate on a 2 hour delay schedule on any given Wednesday, the TBT schedule for that day would be canceled and school would operate under the 2 hour delay schedule, which is 9:40-2:40. 6.) The first TBT Wednesday will be August 31st 7.) Only fill out the attached form if you do not wish for your child to leave the school grounds at 1:44- please send this form to Mrs. Jill Kendall in the main office. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HwgeTNeJ9duaEB0RmOH79VOX5d2lOMRbEBzAL1waiyo/edit?usp=sharing Please call the school office if you have questions.

Cell Phone Marietta High School recognizes that cell phones are a communication tool that parents/guardians use to get messages to their students during the school day. With that being said, cell phones are increasingly becoming a distraction to the educational environment for our student body. As a result of this, Marietta High School has updated our cell phone policy to the following: 1. 7th and 8th grade students are only allowed to use cell phones during lunch. During instructional time, cell phones should be turned off and out of sight in their lockers. Please note that every 7th and 8th grade student will have a new locker with a lock, therefore, all cell phones should remain in their lockers. The only exception is during lunch period. 2. 9th-12th grade students are only allowed to use cell phones during lunch and the hallways. During instructional time, cell phones should be turned off and out of sight, unless students have permission from a teacher or administrator. 3. Unauthorized use of cell phones will result in confiscation of the cell phone. Confiscated phones will be turned into the office. Repeated violations of possessing a cell phone at inappropriate times will result in disciplinary action. 4. If a cell phone is confiscated, the following procedures will take place: 1st Offense- Student Can Pick Up from Office 2nd Offense- Parent will need to pick up cell phone from school. 3rd Offense- Disciplinary Action- 5. Please note that Marietta High School assumes no responsibility for theft, loss, damage, or vandalism of cell phones brought onto school property. To help with this policy, we are asking parents to try to send messages during the appropriate times during the school day based on the student's individual schedule.
