CAHS Office Details

Check out the graphic below explaining the different doors at CAHS and their uses for entry and exit. Door number labels have also been attached to each of these actual doors.

If parents/guardians need to come to the building during the day, please park in the small lot at the south end of the building and enter through the second door facing McGuffey Rd. (door #2). Ring the bell to the right of the door and the office will welcome you to enter. You will talk to the secretaries at the counter at the front window. If you are coming for a meeting and need to enter the main building, you will need to be cleared by Security before leaving the office.

If a caregiver is coming to pick up a student during the day, please call the office in the morning and let them know when the student should be at the office and ready to go. The secretaries will take this pass to the student so the student can then just leave class at the expected time and come to meet the caregiver at the office.

The parent/guardian will come to the visitor entrance. They will be buzzed in and can come to the front counter at the window. They will need to show a valid photo ID and then can sign out the student. The student will be called down to the office to leave. If someone is coming to pick up the student who is not listed on Infinite Campus as a parent/guardian or emergency contact, the parent/guardian will need to call the school ahead of time to give permission at (614) 365-6006.

Please have students bring back a school excuse form to the office when returning from appointments. This can also be emailed to the attendance email address:

attendance.colalt@columbus.k12.oh.us

Students should be dropped off at the main entrance at the back parking lot to re-enter the building.

If students ever need to get ahold of family members during the day, there is now a phone designated for them in the lobby of the office.

Please notify the school by 9:30am. You can call the CAHS attendance number: 380-997-0237 or send an email to the attendance email address: attendance.colalt@columbus.k12.oh.us

Please include:

1. Student’s Full Name (as listed in Infinite Campus – no nicknames)
2. Student ID Number
3. Date(s) of Absence
4. Reason for the Absence
5. Parent/Guardian Name

(If the student has a medical appointment on the day they are sick, please have the student bring a school excuse form when they return or take a photo of it and send it to the attendance email.)

Please complete the annual update on Infinite Campus on the Parent Portal. This is very important for the school and district to have accurate records on student and family address, emergency contacts, etc.
