Leaving Campus / Activity
March 25, 2007
Off-campus Passes
Once a student arrives on campus, the student must remain on campus until his/her classes for the day are completed.
Students are not to leave the campus without an off-campus pass from the Attendance Office. A phone call or note stating reason and time, signed by a parent or guardian must be brought to the Attendance Office before 9:00 a.m. when a student is to leave campus. All notes for off-campus passes will be verified by the Attendance Office. Parents must leave a phone number where A.O. can contact them.
Students who become ill during the school day need to report to the schools Health Office and will be released to go home after their parents are contacted by an authorized employee and the parent approves such release.
Students who leave campus without permission at lunch or during school hours are subject to disciplinary action which will include receiving truants for all classes missed.
Activity Passes and Participation in Activities
Such requests must be issued by teachers or staff twenty-four hours in advance of the activity.
Teachers of whom requests are made have the option to refuse the request (too frequent absences, lack of achievement, and/or poor citizenship). Teachers refusing to honor requests are expected to notify the requesting teacher or staff member in sufficient time.
Students released for an activity will receive a period absence from the class they miss. Activity absences will be included in the total count of absences on the report card.
Students shall attend all classes on the day of an afternoon or evening event to be eligible to attend or participate in the activity (sports).
