Dismissals
We require a documented dismissal note.
- Students who will be dismissed during the school day must bring a written note from a parent/caregiver to the main office prior to 8:15 am.
- The note will contain the
- reason for dismissal,
- time of dismissal,
- date,
- parent/caregiver signature & phone contact
- Students will be given a Dismissal Slip to show the teacher which will allow them to leave the teacher’s class they are in at the time of their dismissal.
- Students must sign out in the main office before they leave the building.
- If the student is returning after an appointment, they must return to the main office to sign back in and receive a pass to their next class. A note from a professional will excuse the time away from classes that day.
- We thank you in advance for your cooperation with the school's protocol requiring a written document for dismissal and appreciate your understanding that a note before school saves much time & work for the attendance personnel.
