EARLY DISMISSAL

Online Early Dismissal Reporting ~ Click Here: Early Dismissal Online Reporting Form

To help us ensure a smooth and timely early dismissal process, parents/guardians must provide at least 1–2 hours notice when requesting an early release. 

Without sufficient notice, we cannot guarantee that your student will be ready for dismissal at the exact time requested.  Advanced notice allows us to minimize classroom disruptions and ensure your student is safely and promptly released.   

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Please Note:

• If early dismissal is for an emergency, parent/guardian must come into attendance, show ID and check student out. 
• If parent information on the early dismissal request doesn’t match what we have on PowerSchool. We will not release the student.

Absence Policy

Each student is allowed 10 days of absence due to illness. If your student exceeds the 10 days, please provide a doctor’s note to clear all absences thereafter. For medical appointments, illness, or surgery, please request a note from your doctor for the exact dates.

 Vacations are not excused absences. Vacations or absences other than illness are considered unexcused and may result in Saturday School.

Students may not leave campus without checking out through the attendance office. If your student leaves campus without checking out, a parent cannot clear the absence after the fact. Failure to follow campus checkout policy may result in detention for your student.
