EARLY PICK UP / EARLY DISMISSAL
If you need to pick up a child early from school you will come into the office and sign the student out. We cannot call ahead to dismiss students, so please plan ahead and arrive early enough to pick up your child. As a matter of courtesy, you should leave a voicemail for their teacher.

If you are picking up your child early, you MUST do so before 11:00 AM for preschool and 3:00 PM for elementary. After this time, we cannot dismiss students until their regular dismissal time.

For grades K – 8th: Habitual Early Leave, more than 10 in a school year, may result in disciplinary action, as this provides a consistent interruption to our classroom environments, limiting our ability to be successful with all of our students. If a student has 10 or more Early Leaves in a school year, they will miss 10 minutes of recess on the following day. Tardy and Early Leave absences will be combined for these calculations. Early Leave follows the same policy as absences for excused vs. unexcused.

LATE PICKUP FEES
There is a $1.00 per student fee for each minute a student is left at the school after 11:45 (for Preschoolers); after 3:45 (for Kindergarteners through 6th graders). This fee is charged REGARDLESS of the reason for late pick up. We will call parents first, then emergency contacts if necessary. If a child is not picked up within 1 hour after dismissal time we are required to call the Sheriff’s Department.

LEAVING OUR CAMPUS – 1st – 6th Grade ELEMENTARY STUDENTS – (3:20PM – 3:50PM)
If your child is walking, riding their bike, or by any other means leaving our parking area on their own, we must have permission from you to allow them to do so. This includes leaving our parking area to meet your car elsewhere. This permission will be on file unless/until you rescind it.

Permission to Leave Campus After School – fill out this form and send it to the Front Office.

DISMISSAL – MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS (3:40PM – 3:50PM)
Students are dismissed at 3:40, please pick them up between 3:40 and 3:50pm.  Middle school students may leave campus on their own after 3:40 – no parental permission is needed.
