Harrison is not responsible for lost, damaged, stolen, or misplaced electronic communication devices.
Students found using a cell phone during class time, in the hallways or in the bathrooms will be assigned a
Saturday School. Students are allowed to use their phones before school, after school and during their lunch

DELIVERIES TO STUDENTS
Please refrain from having parents drop off various forgotten items for pick-up/delivery to the Attendance
Office. We have many students at Harrison and simply do not have the time or space to hold the many items
that can come in on a daily basis for delivery to students. We also will not be held responsible for the security or
assured delivery of items left for students.
Only emergency items can be left in the Attendance Office.
All deliveries of flowers/balloons and fast food to students is strictly prohibited. Students are not allowed
to carry balloons on the buses.
DISTRIBUTION OF LITERATURE
Students who desire to distribute or display literature at Harrison High School must present copies of such
literature to the principal or his designee for review and approval at least 48 hours in advance of distribution.
Individuals not directly connected with the school must obtain permission of the principal not less than three
school days in advance of distribution. The principal will decide the time, place, and manner of distribution of
all materials. (JHC-R School Clubs/Organizations and Student Organizations)
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Any business transaction or agreement involving the name of Carl Harrison High School must have prior
approval and written signature of the principal.
FIRST AID/MEDICINE/MEDICAL NEEDS/PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
A registered nurse is on duty from 8:30 to 3:15 each day. Students who become ill during the school day should
report to the clinic (across from the Attendance Office in the 400 Hall), and a call will be made to a parent. This
is necessary in order for a student to be made excused for illness if that is deemed appropriate. Students need to
refrain from calling/texting their parents using their cell phones when they feel ill. (JGCD-1 School
Nursing/Clinic Procedures)
If a student is in possession of any medication containing a controlled substance and does not have a letter on
file from a parent/guardian, the student will be subject to out of school suspension according to Cobb County
Board Policy JICDA-H pertaining to possession of illegal/controlled substances. Any prescribed medication in a
student’s possession must have his /her name on the prescription bottle. Also, the medication must be in its
original prescribed packaging. Please let the nurse register the medication in the nurse’s control book.
