  1. How do I send a message/delivery for my student? (SCH, p. 47)

    • Only messages of an emergency nature from a parent can be relayed to students.  We encourage parents to plan ahead with their children for unusual weather conditions or other situations that would alter the method by which children return home.  Any changes in method of transportation must go through the front office at least 30 minutes prior to the end of the school day.  Do not rely on fax, email, or voicemail.

  1. What is the procedure for my student to leave campus early? (SCH, p. 45)

    • A parent or otherwise authorized adult must come to the office and sign the student out.  Please be prepared to show identification. If the student returns to campus the same day, the parent or authorized adult must sign the student back in through the main office upon the student’s return.  Documentation regarding the reason for the absence will also be required.

    • If the student’s parent will authorize the student to leave campus unaccompanied, a note provided by the parent must be submitted to the attendance office in advance of the absence, no later than two hours prior to the student’s need to leave campus.  A phone call received from the parent may be accepted, but the school may ultimately require a note to be submitted for documentation purposes.  Once the office has received information that the student’s parent consents to the student leaving campus, a pass will be issued to the student to hand to his or her teacher with the necessary information.  The student must sign out through the main office and sign in upon his or her return, if the student returns the same day.  If a student is 18 years of age and no longer a dependent of his parents for tax purposes or is an emancipated minor, the student may produce a note on his or her own behalf.  Documentation regarding the reason for the absence will be required.
