​​​Leaving School Early​​

A student may not leave Saint Anne School before the regular dismissal time without a request from a parent or guardian. The request must state the reason for early dismissal. At no time during the daily session are pupils allowed to leave the school grounds, including recess or lunch period, unless prior arrangements have been made with the office. If arrangements have been made and the child is to be picked up, the parent, legal guardian or authorized person must report to the office (not the classroom) before the child is released. The child is then signed out and released and the reason for the early leave recorded. Leaving early is recorded in the same way as a tardy and leaving before 2:30pm is marked as a half day absence in the register. A parent or guardian must send a signed note and contact the office if someone other than those previously authorized is to pick up the child. A phone call will not suffice. Students are required to sign in at the office when returning from an appointment. The school assumes no liability in cases where students leave the premises in violation of the above policy.
