Please notify the teacher in writing if a student needs to leave early for an appointment. Be sure to include the reason for early dismissal, the time you will come to school to retrieve your child and your signature.
Students will be sent to the office at the appointed time for departure. Parents (or another person, as designated in your note to the teacher) must come to the office to sign the child out. If the adult arrives before the student has come to the office, after signing the child out, they will be given a visitors badge to wear-- allowing them to walk through the hallway and pick up the student from class. |

Policy for School Visitors
For the safety of all Students and Staff , we ask that parents sign in at the office every time you visit the school during instructional time. Volunteers will be given a visitors badge to wear which is visible to all. This helps us to become familiar with new members of our community and to take action immediately if someone who may present a danger to our children enters the school.
We appreciate your steadfast compliance with this policy for the safety of our students and to maximize instructional time for all! |
