Picking Your Child Up from School

From time to time it may be necessary for you to arrange to pick up your child for a special "early release" from school. This is usually for some special family circumstance or emergency and should occur very rarely because this takes away from your child's learning experiences. In fact, most parents have their children attend school and never need to have such arrangements made. The school district takes great care and concern for the security, safety and well being of the students in our care. Following regulations is greatly appreciated. The purpose of these regulations, obviously, is to focus our mutual concern upon the safety of children.

1. When you plan an early pick up, please provide a written, signed request to the teacher and the office.
2. In all cases, the parent or guardian must present herself/himself at the main office of the school. We will not release children to wait outside.
3. Parents or guardians are required to present proof of identification, specifically a valid driver's license or Government ID Card. We must know, in fact, that you are the parent or guardian.
4. Sign the child out, including date, time, child's name, reason and, your signature.
5. We will not release your child to anyone other than a parent, guardian, or emergency contact identified in the school's database. Under no circumstances will a child be released to someone the child does not identify and recognize.
6. If any circumstance or person seems questionable, the school has the authority to call the Military Police Department immediately to request intervention, and will hold the child until police arrive.
7. If an emergency arises and the parent needs to change the normal routine for student pick-up date.
8. Phone calls and emails will not be accepted for security reasons. Faxes to change the normal pick-up routine will be accepted.
