Policies & Procedures

Dear Parents and Guardians,

If you plan on having your student leave early because of a doctor's appointment or non-emergency, please follow these procedures:

• Send a handwritten note with your student information and the time needed to be excused (please make sure your student gives it to attendance before 1st period).
• If sending a note through email, please make sure you attach a photo of your ID and you must send it an hour prior to leaving.
• No emails or early releases after 2:30 pm due to the dismissal process starting.

Other helpful tips:

• Make sure if your student is absent, please send a doctor's note when your student arrives back to school.
• Only emergency contacts listed can be allowed to take students with previous approval from guardian.
• If a student arrives at school after 7:55 am, make sure to sign them in or send a note. Otherwise, they will be counted absent.
• Only 8 absences are allowed per semester.

All students will receive a new badge and lanyard. It is a district expectation that all students wear their ID badge.

Students who lose or deface their badge will need to purchase a new one from our attendance office. If the badge is lost, students need to get a replacement at the attendance office.

Replacement Costs:

• Badge, holder and anyard $5
• Badge $3
• Lanyard $1
