STUDENT ACTIVITIES

PARKING LOT REMINDER

Parents and guardians are reminded that the main driveway is ONE WAY at all times. This is necessary to allow the busses access to the property and for the general safety of all. Parents please remind your student drivers that they too must observe the one-way system in the parking lot; failure to do so can result in demerits, and/or the loss of their driving/parking privilege.


Parents who drive their children to school must drop passengers at the rear of the building in the marked lane. Cars are to pull forward to the end of the lane (closets to the football field) to drop off passengers. No stopping or standing is permitted in the driveway or unoccupied parking spaces or on Cuthbert Road. The speed limit in the parking lot is 15 m.p.h. For safety reasons, drivers picking up students at the end of the day must remain in their vehicles.

Camden Catholic High School uses ParentsWeb (formerly Ren Web) for our student information system. Families use ParentsWeb to access school information, announcements, calendars, class information, and grades. We also use ParentsWeb as our school alert system. 

CLICK HERE for instructions on creating a ParentsWeb account. If you have any questions, please contact Anne Buroojy at (856) 663-2247 ext. 114.

All parents and students MUST have an active email address, unique to them, to receive school alerts and messages. It is important to update all contact information.

Emergency Contact Form and Handbook Signature Page will be given to students the first day of school and MUST be signed and returned.

Student Lateness

Students are expected to be in their homeroom at the 8:05 am bell. A student who enters first period or the school building after the 8:05 am bell is considered late for school and must report to the Office of Student Affairs, Room 114 for a late pass to gain admission to first period. Students who arrive after 8:45 am with an unexcused lateness are not allowed to participate in athletic or other extracurricular activities that day. Students who accumulate 4 unexcused latenesses will be issued a detention. Followup detentions will be issued in increments of four unexcused latenesses (4, 8, 12, 16, etc.). 


Early Dismissals:  We request that all appointments are scheduled after school hours. For those appointments that must happen during school and require an early dismissal, the student must bring a note to the Office of Student Affairs before 8:05 am. 


Before School Policy: Doors to school open at 7:15 AM. All juniors and seniors may populate their hallways upstairs. All freshmen and sophomores MUST wait in the dining hall until 8:00 AM. Our foodservice vendor, Brock & Company, will provide breakfast for purchase daily during this time. 


After School Policy: Only students who have a supervised activity or permission from a school official may remain in the school building after dismissal. Students who are waiting for transportation home must report to the dining hall by 3:00 pm. Students waiting for rides will wait in our after-school study hall. Students may not remain on school property after school hours unless attending an official school function or the after-school study hall. The afternoon study hall closes at 6pm. Students will be required to sign in to After School Study and will not be allowed to leave the school building and then return for safety reasons.


Official School Detention: 

Detentions are held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:45 – 4 pm. Students receive at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice; therefore, students may not reschedule a detention.

TUITION OBLIGATIONS


Thank you in advance for your responsibility to pay tuition for the excellent education your students are receiving. Please remember, as of August 1, 2023. Camden Catholic will follow strict tuition policies and procedures, which have been verified by our Board of Trustees to be sure that Camden Catholic remains fiscally responsible. The following are the rules stated in the tuition contract to be strictly enforced. 


  1. All payments 60 days late will receive a letter and students will NOT be able to participate in any practices, games, or after school activities or clubs. This includes dances or any trips. This will be strictly enforced. All coaches and moderators will receive this letter to make them aware. For example, if at the end of August if your tuition is 60 days late, your student will NOT be able to participate in the sport they practiced all summer. This policy will follow all year. 
  2. All payments 90 days late will receive a letter and the student will be suspended and not able to return until their balance is paid in full. This disrupts the academic welfare of the student and it is not a favorable rule, however, we need all families to understand the school has bills to pay each month. 
  3. All families who have an invoice, may NOT pay at school. ALL payments must go through FACTS in one of three ways: 1) online through FACTS (online.FACTSmgt.com), 2) phone payment (866-441-4637), 3) check/money order (be sure to put your customer # on the check) mail to: FACTS MGT, PO Box 2597, Omaha, NE 68103-2597
  4. All calls for balances, account changes, etc. must go through the Parent Information number provided by FACTS (866-441-4637) This is the service that FACTS provide to all families.
  5. If you have not set up your username and password to make these things possible, you should call this Parent number above. Without a username and password, you cannot do much on FACTS. It is part of your responsibility to manage your own tuition information. 
  6. Payment date changes can no longer be made by the school tuition office. Each account is allowed 6 payment date changes. Please call the Parent information number provided by FACTS.
  7. All parents of seniors, please know that students do not walk in graduation or participate in senior trip and activities if balances are not paid by May 1, 2024.
