Permit to Leave School
When your student needs to be excused for a dentist appointment, doctor appointment, or any other reason, they should bring a note from their parent/guardian to the office before school in the morning. The student will be given a Permit to Leave to show his/her teacher. Students must come to the office to sign out at the scheduled time before leaving the campus and return to the office to sign in upon their return.
It is very difficult to ensure that students will be waiting in the office or outside if a note is not sent with the student to school.
Parents: Please arrange with your students where they are to meet you after they sign out in the office
