Student - Parent Handbook

Early Dismissal
If parents need to pick up a child during school hours, arrangements should be made in advance with the school office.

Upon arriving at school (before morning homeroom) the student should present an "early dismissal" note which contains the specific reason for an early dismissal tot he office. Please note: early dismissal notes must be written and signed by parents. Notes written by students and simply signed by parents will not be accepted. The office will notify teachers whose classes are affected by this dismissal.

Do not go to your child's room. Rather, come to the school office and sign the child out. When you come to the office, we will send for your child. Call only in case of an emergency. The principal will determine whether an early dismissal is excused or unexcused.
