If anyone other than the parent or guardian is to pick up a child from school, prior arrangement must be made with the school secretary.

For safety reasons anyone picking up students early, will be required to show your physical Driver’s License/photo ID. This will be scanned into our Raptor system, but please always bring it with you in case our websites are down.

Should the need arrive and the way your student is going home changes from the morning, call the front office by 3:30pm so we have time to communicate this change with your student prior to the end of the day.

In the event of a delayed dismissal, typically this is due to lightning in the area please review our procedures below.
