Leaving School Premises
- A note must be sent to the classroom teacher at the beginning of the year to indicate that a child will be going home daily for lunch. He/she must sign out (and in) in the school office. No other students may go home for lunch with him/her.
- If a child normally stays for lunch and a parent wants the child to come home on a specific day, a note must be sent to indicate that the child has the parent's permission to go home that day. The parent must come into the school office to sign out the child, and the child must sign in when returning to school. Friends are not allowed to accompany a child home for lunch.
- If a child is to be dismissed early for some reason, written notification must be sent to the school. The parent/designated adult must come into the school office to sign out the child (and if the child is returning to school that day, he/she must sign in.)
- If a child will NOT be using the usual means of transportation home on a specific day, a note MUST be sent to the classroom teacher explaining the situation. (For example, if a parent/designated adult will pick up a child on a certain day rather than having him/her take the bus, the teacher needs to know this.)
- If one student is going to the home of another after school, EACH family involved MUST send a note to the school to that effect. (This assures the school that parents are aware of the arrangements!) Occasionally a child may ride the bus home with a friend. Each student must provide a note to the teacher and bus driver before a child is admitted to ride the bus. The number of the bus on which the children will be riding must be indicated. If both children do not present notes, they will each be sent to their own homes.
- The teacher should be notified in advance if a child will be missing school due to a family trip.
