Reminder for Parents - Excusing Students
We are seeing an increase of parents/guardians arriving at school to pick up their students without prior notice or calling with short notice. We understand some appointments are made with short notice, however the general policy for excusing students early is to leave a message on the attendance line in the morning or to send a note with your student. Your student will meet you outside when you arrive.
If you come to school to pick up your student without prior notice or call with short notice, we will do our best to deliver a pass as quickly as possible but this will require extra waiting time for parents/guardians
