    • Students are responsible for picking up their attendance pass (before school, during passing period or during lunch) to leave campus. 
    • Attendance passes will NOT be delivered to their class because this disrupts the education process.
    • Parents/ Guardians:  You will get a recording when calling the attendance office. Please leave the information requested and a pass will be written for your student. 
    • Parents / Guardians:  You can write a note and your student can drop off the note before school in the attendance office and return to the attendance office during passing to pick up their pass.
    • Students will pick up their pass (yellow) before school, during passing or during lunch, so when it's time to leave they can show their Teacher the Yellow pass and be excused to leave class.

    • Parents/ guardians can come into the attendance office to check their student out.
