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 or 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 she or he is issued an off-campus permit, (i.e., doctor/dentist appointment, family business, sent home because of illness, etc.) she or he must wait in the Administration Office for a parent/guardian pick-up 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 and 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 in order to exit campus.
No students 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 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 note in the morning prior to the start of the school day. All offices will be closed during this time so all faculty and staff members may supervise our students. Please plan accordingly. Please consult our school calendar for specific dates and times of these Masses, Prayer Services and 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 the parents and tell them to come and pick her or him up during the school day.
● If the student should leave school without the necessary written permission (off-campus pass), the student is liable to school discipline.
● Students must follow the procedures to obtain a readmit slip upon return to school.
