Reminder to parents:  If you will be picking up your student during school hours, please send a note with your student the day of the appointment so we can issue them a class pass in advance.  We have a lot of parents showing up to pick up students without advanced noticed causing interruption to teachers and classes.  We will give your student a pass for 5 minutes before your anticipated arrival so they can be in the office waiting for you.  Also, parents are required to come in to the office and sign your student out.  Students are not allowed to leave the building without a parent/guardian.  Contact the front office if you have any questions.
