Student Early Checkout Procedures

• To minimize disruptions to the classroom learning environment, please have your student bring a note to the main office before school starts detailing the student name, date, time you will pick up your student and the reason for the early dismissal. A pass will be issued to your student to be released from class, and your student will be in the office at the scheduled release time. A parent must come into the office to sign the student out.  Please be prepared to show a picture ID.  Any person not listed on the Emergency Care Card may not pick up a student from school without written permission from the parent.  Please do not use the attendance line to request early dismissal.

• If your child is absent or going to be tardy, please call the Attendance Line at 703-904-5151 or 703-904-5100 or use our online attendance tool.
