Any change in dismissal plans must be communicated in writing in advance to the child’s teacher.

All students who are dismissed early must be signed out by a parent or guardian at the office with school personnel before dismissal.   

For reasons other than illness, early dismissals are discouraged if appointments can be made after school hours.  If a dismissal is absolutely necessary, it can be authorized by the administration upon receipt of a note from the student’s parents.  Dismissal notes must be brought to the office prior to 8:10 am.  Parents must report to the main office prior to the student’s dismissal.  If a student does not return to school that day, he/she is not allowed to attend after school/evening school activities on the same day.  If a student becomes ill during the school day and wishes to be dismissed, permission must be secured from the school nurse.  Parents will be notified and transportation arrangements must be made with the nurse prior to dismissal.

Dismissal for reasons other than illness is discouraged when appointments can be made after school  hours. If, however, such a dismissal is absolutely necessary, it can be authorized by one of the  administrators. A note from the student’s parent/guardian is necessary; a dismissal request by phone or  fax cannot be honored. 

The student will present an office dismissal pass to the classroom teacher at the beginning of the period  before being dismissed.
