Early Dismissal Process for Parents and Students
To ensure a smooth early dismissal process, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Submit a Note:
Your student must bring a note to school that includes the following:- Student’s full name
- Time of dismissal
- Reason for early dismissal
- Name of the person picking them up
The note should be submitted to the attendance window before school starts or at snack time.
- Early Dismissal Slip:
After the note is submitted, the student will receive an Early Dismissal Slip. This slip must be shown to the classroom teacher at the time of dismissal. Without this slip, it may take longer for the student to meet you in the front office. - Picking Up Your Student:
When you arrive to pick up your student, please:- Bring a valid ID.
- Sign your student out at the Attendance Office.
- Flex Time:
Please note that students cannot be released during Flex Time (Tuesday to Friday, 12:07 PM – 12:31 PM), unless prior arrangements have been made using the early dismissal form. - No Phone Calls or Emails:
Phone calls or emails will not be accepted for early dismissals. Only notes submitted in person will be processed.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
