Dismissals and Inclement Weather

To participate in field trips, clubs, or athletics, students must attend school regularly and be in class for at least half the school day on the day of the activity, or the school day prior to weekend events. Students with excessive absences or tardies may lose eligibility.

Note: Students traveling outside of the continental United States will not have access to the school network. Students are required to make up any missing work, including tests, quizzes, and projects, upon return to School.

Preapproval Absence Form

Students in vocational programs must leave the campus upon dismissal from classes. Students who fail to abide by this rule will be given one warning. On the second offense, they may be assigned to a study period and will forfeit their early release.

Students attending under the Dexter Mosley Act must arrive on campus immediately before their class(es) and leave campus immediately after their class(es). Students may return to School after dismissal for club and athletic participation.

Students taking an FVS or GAVS class during the school day are required to be off campus. Students are not allowed to leave campus for lunch without a Senior Privilege sticker on their School ID. Dual Enrollment and/or Virtual Classes are assigned at the beginning and end of the day.  Students are allowed to come to campus late or leave campus early to complete their DE/Virtual courses at home.  Teachers are not allowed to send students off campus to pick up materials or food for classes.

Students will have stickers on their IDs illustrating the class periods they are allowed to be off campus for virtual or dual enrollment classes.

In the event of severe weather, Fulton County Schools may initiate asynchronous learning or "remote learning" from home. If the district declares an inclement weather day, a robocall will be initiated with an email to all parents and families. Fulton County Schools' social media and website will also post information and report to local news stations. As a school, Cambridge will also announce on our website and initiate contact as needed. On these days, teachers will post assignments on Canvas for all students to access and complete.
