Early Release / Early Pick Up Procedures

Early Release Procedures

After 2:30 pm, we begin preparing for dismissal, and our car rider line becomes very busy. For the safety of all students, early parent pick-up will end at 2:30 pm – no exceptions. This applies whether you send a note or come in person. The cut-off allows us enough time to safely bring students from class and keep dismissal running smoothly.

Early Release Notes
If your child will be leaving early, please have them bring a signed note to the attendance office. The note must include:

• Student’s first and last name

• Time to be released

• Parent/guardian signature

• Parent/guardian phone number

Students may still be picked up without a note; however, please anticipate a wait time of approximately 10 to 20 minutes. We encourage all families to plan accordingly. All parents, guardians, or authorized individuals must present a valid form of identification at the front desk when checking out a student. Please note that family members, friends, or other individuals may not check out a student without a signed note from the parent or guardian. If the request is made via email, a photo of the parent or guardian’s driver’s license must be included. The latest time for early student checkout is 2:30 p.m.
