STUDENT DISMISSAL PRECAUTIONS

Early Dismissal

Each school is responsible for the safety of students during the school day.  No child shall leave the school grounds at any time other than general dismissal except with written permission from a parent or guardian and the building Principal’s authorization.  Elementary pupils shall not be released except in the care of a parent/guardian (who is known to be such), or other authorized person.

Children of estranged parents shall be released only upon written request of the parent or other individual who holds physical custody of the child who is the parent or guardian registered on the school record.  Parents are responsible for advising the school where the child is attending of any restraining orders or court orders which affect parental rights with respect to such students.

Requests for Early Dismissal

Requests for early dismissal must be in writing and signed by a parent or legal guardian.  Such requests shall be subject to the approval of the building Principal or other designated official.
