Early Leave Policy

All students leaving campus during the school day must checkout through the Attendance Office or Nurse’s Office. Students leaving campus for any reason (illness or personal necessity) without first obtaining the proper pass, will be considered TRUANT. A Lunch Pass is NOT an Early Leave Permit. Students leaving at lunch must return on time for their afternoon classes unless they have followed procedures for obtaining an Early Leave Permit.
 
Procedures for Processing an Early Leave Permit
  • Students must have a signed note from a parent in order to obtain an Early Leave Permit. The note must include the date and time of departure, a phone number where the parent/guardian can be reached, and must be submitted to the Attendance Office before school. An Early Leave Box is located at the first window. 
  • The Attendance Office will issue an “Early Leave Permit” authorizing the student to be off-campus during the school day. 
  • Students are responsible for picking up the Early Leave Permit during nutrition, lunch or between classes if time permits. If the student is leaving in the middle of class time, the Early Leave Permit should be shown to the teacher and permission will be given to leave the classroom.
