There has been a large increase in walk-in early dismissals. Please remember, students planning to have an early dismissal should come to the front office upon arrival at school on the day of their dismissal and turn in a parent note. The student will receive a pass to get out of class at the time of their dismissal. Don’t have a note? Come to the office anyway to notify the office and get your dismissal pass. Dismissals that are not prearranged require staff to call into classrooms which interrupts classroom instructions and hinders focus and productivity. If someone other than a parent or guardian is picking up, the parent note should state the name of the person the parent is giving permission to pick up the student.
