Is child care
offered at all high school sites? No, Only at
American Legion Continuation High School and Hiram Johnson High School.
Does your
program provide transportation? Yes, we
provide bus stickers to students who are enrolled in the program and
maintain good attendance at school.
How do I
enroll in the Self Contained program? Go to
the admissions office at Hiram Johnson High School with your guardian and
tell the registrar you are expectant/parenting and want to enroll in the
Self Contained class. You will meet with a counselor to review your class
schedule, then meet with the high school nurse and provide a pregnancy
confirmation if expectant and the information of your child’s care giver if
you are parenting. If you need child care, you will meet with the staff in
the infant/toddler child care building and enroll your child there.
What if I
need child care but want to be in regular high school?
You may enroll your child in the child care center and attend regular high
school. Remember to meet with the high school nurse to provide your child’s
care giver’s information.
Can I just
stay at home and do my school work? No. You
must be enrolled in school and develop a honest relationship with your
teachers. Should you need to be at home due to pregnancy complications or
sick child, you will discuss your needs with each of your teachers to
develop a plan for your academic work. You can always ask the Cal Safe
staff for assistance.
