Clothes Closet: The Clothes Closet has been a huge success for students looking for dress code apparel. All items are gently used and at no cost. Due to the popularity of the lunchtime openings, the closet is very low on inventory especially CBHS polos and college sweatshirts.

Donations of clothing items in dress code are always welcome and can be dropped off in the Front Office during business hours. A very big thank you to all families and staff who have made a donation! Contact Donna Adam - clothescloset@cbhs-sacramento.org with any questions.

Parking Permits: Parking permits are required to park on campus and are only issued to students with a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance. Because of limited space, parking permits are limited to one per household. Parking Permits are available to purchase online. Students can go to the front office to pick up their permit, with proof of purchase. If students are caught parking on campus without a Parking Permit, they will be issued a parking violation. For questions regarding parking permits, contact Kelly Harrington at 916-733-3625.
