It is strongly recommended that medical or dental appointments be scheduled when school is not in session.

• Written verification of the appointment is required from the doctor's office noting the time and length of the appointment.
• Permission to leave school before the time of dismissal requires a written request with a daytime phone number from the parent/guardian which is presented to the Attendance Office before the first period of the day.  The request must state the reason.  The office will then verify the note and issue an off-campus permit.
• For the safety and well-being of the student when he/she is issued an off-campus permit (i.e., doctor/dentist appointment, family business, sent home because of illness, etc.), he/she must wait in the Administration Office for a parent/guardian pickup at the appointed time.
• The student will be released ONLY after the parent/guardian has produced proper picture identification.
• The student will not be released to any other person who is not designated by the parent/guardian on file with the school.
• In cases where a written explanation of a foreseen absence has been received by the school and the student has been issued an off campus permit in advance, the student must report to the Attendance Office upon return to obtain a readmit slip before returning to class.
• Time absent from school with off-campus permits will be charged as equivalent absences.
• Students must sign out from the Attendance Office and provide off-campus permits to security guards to exit campus.
  
  

No student will be released from school during preparation or celebration of Mass or Prayer Services.  Also, no student will be released during any pep rally.  Arrangements must be made by parents/guardians to pick up students at least 45 minutes prior to the start of these events.  Students are to follow dismissal procedures and bring in a parent/guardian note in the morning prior to the start of the school day.  All offices will be closed during these times so all faculty and staff members are available to supervise our students.  Please plan accordingly.  Please consult the school calendar for specific dates and times of these Masses, Prayer Services and pep rallies.

Illness During the School Day

·         Students who become ill during the day outside of class must report to the Administration Office immediately.

·         During class time, students must obtain written teacher permission to report to the Administration Office.

·         A student may never independently call his/her parent/guardian and tell the parent/guardian to come pick up the student during the school day.

·         If a student should leave school without the necessary written permission (off-campus pass), the student may be subject to appropriate school discipline.

·         Students must follow the procedures to obtain a readmit slip upon return to school.

Out of Classroom - ​A student who receives permission from a teacher to leave class during the class period must obtain a Hall Pass from that teacher.  Students out of class without a pass may be considered truant.  Students must also sign out/in the Bathroom Log.
