TO PICK A STUDENT UP EARLY

Please come to the Attendance Office Check-Out Window and present picture identification to the clerk and sign an Off-Campus Pass.  Students will not be released to any individuals who are not listed on the Emergency Card (filled out annually during Orientation/ Registration), You may also make prior arrangements with the Attendance Office for early pickup as the cut off to call out students and/or attendance window will close at 2:15pm. If you need to take your student from a P.E. class, please call at least 10 minutes prior to the time the student is required to leave.  Contact Ms. Chavez, our Attendance Manager,  for early pickup for any reason.
 

ARRIVING LATE TO SCHOOL

Please provide a written excuse for each tardy or phone the Attendance Office with the reason for the late arrival (illness, doctor appointment or personal). A student is marked tardy within 30 minutes and truant after 30 minutes if they arrive with no excuse for being late. Absences will only be cleared with a verified written note or a telephone call from a parent/legal guardian.  Email messages regarding lateness or absences are also accepted.
