Calera High School

Just a reminder, that Calera High School does not accept Valentine deliveries.

Pleae reference out check-out policy below Checkouts are to be handled in person only. Checkout requests by email, phone, or handwritten notes will not be accepted or granted. Students may be checked out one of two ways: Traditional checkout: The person checking out a student must enter the building through the front office and sign them out. Photo ID will be required, and said person must be on the students checkout list, which was provided by the parent/guardian during registration. (This has to be completed/updated each year) Such checkouts cannot occur after 2:30. Pre-checkout: The person checking out a student must enter the building through the front office, and sign the student out ahead of time for a future specified date and time (no more than a couple of days ahead). This allows parents/guardians to pre-checkout their students before school, or even days before, for appointments that come at a later time when the parent/guardian is unavailable to be present in person at the time of checkout. Photo ID is required, and they must be on the approved checkout list for that student, which was provided by the parent/guardian during registration. We thank you for your cooperation and support as we continue to utilize and enforce the best protocols, to ensure the safety and education of our students.

Calera High School went into secure perimeter protocols today due to an incident that was occurring in the community near the school. Staff secured the areas for which they were responsible and students stayed inside until law enforcement gave the all-clear. The secure perimeter was out of precaution and students and staff were not in danger. The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We appreciate the partnership with the Calera Police Department and their clear communication during this incident.
