STUDENT SIGN-OUT PROCEDURES

Student sign-out requires the adult to provide a valid photo identification.  The adult must be listed on the student emergency contacts in FOCUS as an authorized person to sign-out the student.  Exceptions to the rule can only occur when the parent/guardian listed on the emergency card provides a signed letter authorizing the individual to pick up the child.  Student’s safety is our largest concern!

Due to monitoring and attendance needs by teachers, there will be no student sign-out during a student’s 25-minute lunch period.  Parents are asked to pick up students before, or wait for the completion of lunch. 

 

Students signing-out during whole-school events, such as assemblies, Pep Rallies, activities, etc., may be delayed as much as 30 minutes while students are located around campus.  To assist with timely service, parents are highly encouraged to sign out students BEFORE whole-school events.

 

  1. To minimize disruptions to the learning environment, no student sign-out after 3:30pm, unless prior arrangements for early dismissal are approved by administration.
