Attendance

CHECKING OUT

All check-outs are unexcused UNTIL a written excuse is provided to the school. Students are allowed three parent check-outs as excused per semester. A student needing to check out of school must present their reason in writing from the parent BEFORE 8:35 a.m. to the front office. Notes must include a phone number where a parent, doctor or dentist can be contacted during the morning for verification. If a student has a dental or medical appointment card, it should be presented.

Phone calls will not be accepted for sign-outs; parents must either come in, send an email or fax. A fax must include a phone number and copy of photo identification for verification.

No faxes, phone calls,notes or emails will be taken on the day preceding a school break or during FINALS week.

Students checking out early must come to the front office and sign out at the appropriate time. Any student missing more than half of a class period will be counted absent from that class. NOTE: A student may not come to the office in the middle of class to check out unless a note was submitted by 8:35 a.m. Students who are checking themselves out must wait until the next class change.

Student sign-outs after 3:00 p.m.will not be permitted; parents/guardians should wait until the 3:25 p.m. dismissal bell for release of students.

Once students arrive on campus they MAY NOT LEAVE at any time without authorization from the front office. Students MAY NOT check out and leave campus to eat lunch. Students who are checked out and those on any early release or work study program must leave the campus immediately and not return except for official school business. Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the student to lose the priviledge of early release/WBL.
