Late Check-In / Early Check-Out (K-3)

It is in the best interest of the student and the school’s instructional program that all students are in class and ready to begin when the instructional days start at 7:45 a.m. Late check-ins should be avoided. To protect the integrity of the instructional program, appointments should be scheduled after the end of the school day, whenever possible. Late check-ins and early check-outs are discouraged and are subject to school attendance policies. Furthermore, any student who checks in late or checks out early will be responsible for making up all work that was missed. The teacher will provide make-up work to ensure that the student does not fall behind academically.

 

A student is expected to remain at school throughout the school day except in case of emergency. In the event a student becomes ill during the school day, the parent/guardian will be contacted and, if necessary, expected to come to school and check the student out. When early check-out is necessary, the student’s parent/guardian or an adult designated by the parent/guardian on the student’s emergency card must personally sign the student out in the school office. Teachers are not authorized to release students to parents who come to the classroom.

 

The time when schools are preparing for dismissal and loading students on buses and into parents’ vehicles is extremely sensitive. Every possible step must be taken to ensure the safe dismissal of all students. Therefore, no student will be called from class for early check-out after 2:15 p.m.
