Leaving School Early:

Early checkout from school is discouraged. Students and parents should try to arrange medical and other appointments after school hours. Faxes are NOT accepted for any dismissal.

How to check out a student?

The enrolling adult can do one of the following.

1. Emailing lotis.marchbanks@cobbk12.org ahead of time is recommended to check out a student.
2. Sending in a handwritten note to the attendance office in the morning. Enrolling adult should expect a phone call from the school for note’s verification. Students will not be release if notes are unverified.
   Email/Note should include:
   • Student’s first and last name
   • Date and time of when a student need to be checked out.
   • Reason of why a student is checking out early.
3. Calling 678-594-8190 extension 3. 

*If a parent cannot send an email/Note or call one hour before the time of dismissal or they cannot be contacted for verification, the parent/guardian must come to the school and check the student out in person. Picture Identification MUST BE PRESENTED.

All enrolling adults must have an active ParentVUE account in order to update their information if needed.

Checking out a student in person is the most time consuming for parents, and it could result in a 15 to 20-minute wait while Attendance sends a student runner for your child. The latest we can send for students for dismissal is 3:15.

*NOBODY should leave campus without checking out through the attendance office. If the student leaves after being informed that her/his early dismissal cannot be verified, the departure will be treated as skipping class, and disciplinary action will be taken.

Tardy to School/Class: If a student arrives after 8:20 a.m. and is unexcused, report to the Attendance Office or closest LAS station to check in. If a student arrives after 8:20 a.m. and is excused, report to the Attendance Office to submit a note. Failure to check-in or continued tardiness will result in disciplinary action.

Excuse Notes

Enrolling adult of all students who are absent should submit appropriate excuse notes to the attendance office by emailing lotis.marchbanks@cobbk12.org. A handwritten note will be honored with enrolling adult’s signature and phone number for verification. Enrolling adult can also click the link on the absence notification to submit an excuse note. 

Notes from the third Party must be scanned/photographed, faxed or emailed when available for correct coding:

• Doctor
