Due to safety concerns, parents or guardians, visitors, and volunteers are required to check in through the Main Office where they will sign in and be given a visitor tag to wear while on campus. Teachers will be notified prior to visitors being allowed to proceed to the classroom.

In order to leave school during the school day, a student must bring a note to the teacher requesting dismissal. The note should state:

a. Reason for dismissal

b. Name of person authorized to sign student out

c. Parent's phone number

d. Date and time of dismissal

e. Signature

A photo ID will be required to sign a student out of school. This is for your child's protection. If the student returns to school during the day, the adult is asked to accompany the student to the office and sign the student back in. Students will not be released to anyone other than a parent or guardian without written permission from parents.

Students who need to leave the campus during the school day for a dental, doctor, or other appointment will be signed out by the parent or guardian through the Main Office. No student will be allowed to leave the campus for any other reason. For the safety of the student, no student is to be removed from class without the teacher's prior knowledge.

Policy Change: Students are considered absent if they are removed from school at any time during the school day. When a child has a doctor's appointment, he or she will need to bring in a note from the doctor stating that, the student was seen by that doctor that day. If a note is not provided the absence will be considered unexcused. These days are counted in the attendance policy. (16 or more days of absences could result in a child failing the grade and being retained.
