To prevent interruption of classes and the disruption of learning, students are dismissed from school via parental notes. Dismissal notes should be submitted to the office before the start of school. Notes must contain the reason for the dismissal, and the expected time of return, if applicable. Students must sign out in the main office. Parents are requested to plan all student dismissals in this manner; emergencies are an exception. If a student needs to be dismissed for an unexpected reason, such as an emergency, then a parent or guardian is required to call in and obtain administrator approval for the dismissal.
