EARLY pickup policy:
A note from home is required when a student leaves school early. Be prepared to present your ID. You will be required to sign your student out at the Health Technician’s desk; your child will be called to the office after you have arrived at school. Please plan accordingly as this can take a few minutes. If someone other than a parent or guardian is picking up your child, the parent/guardian must deliver a signed, dated letter notifying the office as to which emergency contact will be picking up the student with the date and time of that pickup. That person must show their ID upon pick up.
IMPORTANT: If you want to pick up your child before the end of the school day, it must be BEFORE 2:00 pm (M,W,Th,F) or 12:45 pm (Tuesdays). If you are requesting an early pickup within 15 minutes of the end of the school day, you will be asked to wait until the bell rings to pickup your child.
