Early Dismissal Request Procedure

All Students


Early dismissal requests will only be honored for serious circumstances.

To be granted early dismissal from school, a student must bring in a note from his parent/guardian and present it to the attendance office before the start of homeroom on the morning that he is requesting early dismissal.

The note should include:

  1. Student's name and homeroom
  2. Reason for early dismissal
  3. Requested early dismissal time
  4. The name of the parent/guardian who will be picking the student up and their cell phone number
  5. Signature of the parent/guardian


Any student who is granted early dismissal must be picked up by a parent or guardian. This includes juniors and/or seniors who drive and have a car on campus. Students will not be allowed to leave on their own with a verbal or written commitment from a parent. The parent must physically come to school and sign their son out.

Parents/guardians should enter the school via the main lobby doors adjacent to the circular driveway and meet with the security officer to sign their son out.
 

Early Dismissal Due to Illness During the School Day

Students are not permitted to text/call/contact their parent/guardian to be picked up early from school.

If the student is not feeling well during the school day, the following procedure is to be followed:

  • The student will inform his teacher, who will then direct the student to the Nurse's Office.

  • The student must then report directly to the Nurse’s office.

  • The nurse will determine if the student will be sent home early.

  • The nurse - not the student - will then contact the parent/guardian to come to the school to sign the student out. Students will not be released from school early for any reason without a parental or guardian signature. This includes students who drive themselves to school.

  •  

If the student will be absent on subsequent days, a telephone call to the Attendance office is required for each day. A note should be sent with the student on the next date of attendance.
