Early Dismissal/Leaving School During the School Day
Safety measures: Parents picking up students before 2:30pm will be asked to sign the student out by showing a state-issued ID and completing the sign out sheet in the office. You are welcome to send a note ahead of time; however, students will not be called down to the office until the adult picking them up arrives. We will release students only to adults whose names are on the student’s information card. Parents will need to contact our office staff to add the names and phone numbers of adults who are permitted to pick up students.
Please note: We will only make a change in the way your child leaves school at the end of the day if we have received written instructions from the parent. We will not make a change based on your child telling his/her teacher that they need to go home a different way.

School attendance is critical for academic achievement, social development, and future success. Consistent presence prevents learning gaps, builds foundational skills, and teaches vital life habits like responsibility. Missing just a few days can negatively impact a student's trajectory.
Always report all absences to your student’s school with a reason. Reported absences due to illness, appointments, funerals, and other situations as defined under Board Policy 5200 are EXCUSED and will not be counted towards Habitual Truancy.
