Parents should send their child to school with a note requesting early dismissal. The student should report to the main office before school begins to receive an early dismissal pass.
At the requested dismissal time, the student will meet their parent or guardian in the main office and must be signed out before leaving campus. If the student returns to school after an appointment, the parent or guardian does not need to accompany them back inside.
