A student must bring a written note stating the reason, signed and dated by the parent/guardian, giving permission to leave the school property at a specific time during school hours. Please try to keep medical and dental appointments at a minimum as frequent absences of this nature are detrimental to the student's class work. We also ask that these appointments not conflict with dates of standardized testing. Leaving more than 30 minutes before the end of the school day is marked as a half day absence.
At no time
during the daily session are pupils allowed to leave the school grounds before the regular dismissal time, even
during recess or lunch period, except by written request from a parent/guardian. The request must state the reason for leaving school early. Leaving more than 30 minutes before the end of
the day is marked as a half day absence. If arrangements have been made and the
child is to be picked up, the parent/guardian must present himself/herself to
the office (not the classroom) before the child is released. The child
is then signed out and released from the office. If someone other than the
parent or guardian is picking up the child, the parent must call the school
office identifying the person who will be picking up the child. This person
must be noted on the family’s emergency card. Upon arrival at school, the person
named must present a signed note from a parent and proper identification. The
School assumes no liability in cases where students leave the premises in
violation of the above policy. Once students arrive on the school grounds, they
may not leave for any reason, even if the tardy bell has not rung.
