Dismissal Procedures
Many Middle School students are "Walkers" and have permission to simply walk home at the end of the school day. However, the majority of elementary students are "Pick-Ups" and are dismissed to a parent or a designated adult (Dismissal Procedures Form) to be escorted home
A Dismissal Procedures Form (link to First Day Packet) must be completed for each student and submitted to the Main Office. Changes to this form must be made in person at the main office and cannot be managed over the phone
Guardian Sign-Out (Early Dismissal)
A student may not leave the school grounds between the start of school 8:05 AM and regular dismissal 3:05 PM unless he/she submits a parental note for early dismissal. Early Dismissal notes must be presented to the Main Office at the start of the school day. The student must be signed out before leaving the school grounds by a parent or emergency contact
Parents who establish medical appointments after the student is already in school should call the main office to arrange for orderly Early Dismissal of the student. Please do not leave messages about early dismissal on faculty voicemail or e-mail
