EARLY LEAVE

Students who are leave school after 2:30pm (between 2:30pm-3:00pm) on a regular school day or after 12:00pm (between 12:00pm-12:30pm) on an early dismissal school day is considered leaving school early. Early leave is treated like a tardy (late) on Gradelink and a student's cumulative (permanent) records as the number of early leave is calculated with the number of tardy (late) and recorded as part of the latter (tardiness). Early leave and tardiness may have financial penalties associated with them when in excess (please see Tardiness​ policy elsewhere in this Parent Student handbook).​

It should be a rare occasion that a request for early leave is made on behalf of a student from school. Parental cooperation is requested in order to keep early leave and tardiness to an absolute minimum. However, iIf a student must leave before dismissal, he or she is required to present a note to the teacher in the morning. Students are to be picked up at the school office for cases of early dismissal (NOT at the classroom). A designated adult must always report to the school office and sign a release form before a child may leave the school. Parents must not interrupt the class for any reason while school is in session.
