• Prior to 7:15 am, the student should provide the Attendance Office with a note from the parent or guardian stating the date, parent contact number, the time requested for the check-out, and the reason. The student's absence due to checking out will only be excused if it meets one of the approved reasons stated in the GCPS Handbook.

• The student is then provided with a check-out pass to be shown to the classroom teacher at the time of the check-out. This pass should be brought to the Attendance Office to complete the checkout process. There is no need for the parent/guardian to come into the building, the student can meet their parent outside or if they are a driver, they can then leave campus.
• If the parent cannot be contacted, the student may not be allowed to check out. A parent or guardian must be contacted to grant permission before a student is allowed to leave campus.

Students who leave campus without following the check-out procedures will be considered AWOL from school and disciplined accordingly.

Note: On certain days when there are unexpected schedule changes or planned schedule changes, lines may be up to an hour long and last checkout times can be moved to 12:30pm.

We would love your support in following the above instructions. We have this process to limit the number of people entering the building during the day and to limit the interruption to classes. When the above process is followed, parents don't have to enter the school or only have to on rare occasions.
