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:
- Student's name and homeroom
- Reason for early dismissal
- Requested early dismissal time
- The name of the parent/guardian who will be picking the student up and their cell phone number
- 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.
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.
