Check Out Procedures

Early Dismissal and Bus Transportation Changes

If a student leaves school prior to 2:00 p.m., they must check-in or out through the office. If a student has an appointment during the school day and needs to leave early, a parent/guardian or approved contact must check the student out through the office.

Parents, your child will not be able to be checked out after 2:00, as it interferes with traffic flow and other administrative duties necessary to keep our school safe and orderly. Transportation changes will be taken until 1:00. No changes will be made after that time.
