EARLY CHECK-OUT

If a parent comes to school to pick up his/her child during the school day, he/she must come by the office first to sign the student out of school. Early check-outs should be kept to a minimum. Students cannot be checked out after 2:30 p.m. Parents will need a picture ID to pick up their child. 

INCLEMENT WEATHER

The school superintendent decides when schools require closing. Parents should listen to the radio or watch local TV channels for information concerning school closings. A decision to close schools or to operate on a delayed schedule will be announced by a Connect-Ed phone call. Should inclement weather situations occur after school begins, the news will also be announced on radio, TV, and by Connect-Ed phone call. Please DO NOT telephone the school or ask your child or your child’s teacher to call you. You may call 704-260-5649 for updated information. The Kids:Plus after school program does not operate if school closes early because of inclement weather. Please contact your child’s teacher  to indicate what your child is to do when school closes early due to inclement weather. Working parents must make arrangements in advance for child care when school is dismissed early. 

RELEASING CHILDREN TO PARENTS

A child must be released by the school to either parent unless legal papers have been presented to the principal showing custody. This applies even if a child is living with only one parent. Please review any legal custody documents on file in the school office at the beginning of each school year to ensure they reflect the most recent court order. If you have legal custody of your child and do not wish for your child to be released to the other parent, you must provide the principal with current legal documentation.
