Dismissing a Student?
EARLY DISMISSAL PROCEDURE
Students are to be dismissed for legitimate reasons only. Parents/guardians should make every effort to schedule appointments during non-school time. However, when it is unavoidable that a student be dismissed, they are required to bring a parent/guardian note to the main office prior to the beginning of homeroom.
This written explanation must be signed by the parent/guardian and contain the date, time of dismissal, home telephone number, grade, homeroom number and reason for the request of dismissal. Students will report to all classes up to their exact dismissal time. A parent/guardian must come into the building at the designated dismissal time to pick up their child.
IN THE EVENT THAT A SITUATION ARISES AND IT IS NECESSARY TO DISMISS YOUR CHILD AND YOU DID NOT SEND A NOTE, YOU MUST CALL THE SCHOOL AHEAD OF TIME AND LET THE SCHOOL’S STUDENT SECRETARY KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE COMING AND WHAT TIME TO EXPECT YOU. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS MAY INCREASE YOUR WAIT TIME OR PREVENT YOU FROM ENTERING THE BUILDING.
The parent/guardian must sign the dismissal log and may be required to provide positive identification.
In the event that no advance notice has been given, and persons other than the parent/guardian seek to dismiss a student, the school will contact the parent/guardian to verify the dismissal request.
Excessive dismissals that result in missed academic time may result in a CRA being filed with the Milford District Court.
Students are not allowed to call home and have themselves dismissed from school.
