When it is necessary for a student to leave during the school day, the follow the procedure below:

Our Attendance Office values teacher instruction time and we do not call into rooms to release students from class. Please understand that when you come into our office it will take at least 20 minutes for us to get your student from class. It is much quicker and easier for you if you call at least an hour ahead of the time you need your student released early . 

If the early release request is a last minute appointment, calling ahead can expedite the process for you. (Even if it is not the requested hour ahead of time.)

• Call with plenty of time for us to get your student, at least an hour. It can take time to find them if the class is out of their room.
• Parent/Guardian calls the school phone number (not the 24 Hour Attendance Line) @ 699-0080. Ask for or connect to the Attendance Office. If you get connected to a voice mail please leave a message. We do check our messages frequently.
• Leave the student's name, spell the last name
• Your relationship to the student
• The time you need the student released
• The reason they need to leave
• Phone number where we can reach you if needed

Or…

• A note can be sent with the student to bring to the Attendance Office. Have the student bring the note to the Attendance Office before school, at Break/Lunch or between classes. Students are not to bring notes to the Attendance Office during class time.

Upon receipt of either of the above the student will be given an Off Campus Pass. Students cannot leave without an Off Campus Pass. Doing so will result in a Truancy and a referral to Administration. A parent phone call received after the fact cannot clear the Truant mark or clear from discipline that the student may receive.
