Early Dismissal Procedure

A parent/guardian picking up a student during the school day should come to the main office to sign the student out of school. The school is responsible for the safety of each student; therefore, parents (or any other adult picking up a student) must show identification before students can be released and must be listed on the student information card kept on file at the school. 

Please follow the steps below when driving students are leaving: 

1. If a student needs to leave for an appointment during the school day, he/she should bring a note from his/her parent/guardian stating the student's full name, date, dismissal time and reason. This note should be presented to the attendance office when the student arrives at school. 

2. The attendance office will call to verify permission from the parent. This call will be made regardless of the student's age. 

3. The student should report to the main office to officially sign out of school before leaving the building.
