Student Drop off/Pick up Procedures
Families who elect to drive their child to school must drop them off and pick them up at the designated location at the back of the campus during ARRIVAL and DISMISSAL of school.
Please pull as forward as possible in the drop off lane, past the crosswalk, to assist with traffic flow and avoid accidents. Drivers must go around the circle at the end of the drive in order to turn around. Drivers are prohibited from turning around on the hill, by the dumpsters or at any other point along the drive.
Only students who have physical injuries/needs should be dropped off/picked up at the front entrance. Picking up students from parking lots around the campus is not permitted.
Morning Drop Off to school begins at 7:20am and ends at 7:35am. Classes begin promptly at 7:40am. After 7:40am students must be dropped off in the front of campus and sign in to the office.
Students are dismissed at 2:50pm.

Bus Routes
Parents must complete a ridership survey for each student in their household. If you decline ridership now, and your circumstances change during the school year, please contact the transportation department to make a change. It is important for every school family to complete this survey whether you choose to have your child ride the bus or not. If you do not respond to this survey, your child may not be included in the bus routes.

Chagrin Falls High School will operate on an 8 period bell schedule, five days a week. We recognize the need for flexible scheduling and that some students/staff valued the weekly block periods. A multitude of factors were considered before making this change, including student and staff feedback and the need to add a lunch period to better balance classes and provide course offerings. Most importantly were concerns over student/school safety. We ask that you review this information carefully with your child as this is new for all High School students. Please refer to the updated schedule below.
