CHECKING OUT OF SCHOOL

Early check out from school is discouraged. Students and parents should try to arrange medical and other appointments after school hours.

• A parent, guardian, or administrator must grant permission to check out in every case.
• Under non-emergency circumstances, the parent should send a note with the student if planning to leave early. 
• Last minute appointments do happen; however, please contact PPO at your earliest convenience to inform them of the student check out. Parent/guardian is not required to come into the school for early pick-up if a note or call/email has been made.
• If being picked up, the student will exit the building once signed out through PPO. If you need to pick up your student and have not made previous arrangements through PPO, you will need to come into the school to check your student out. Please bring ID. 
• We will not be able to accommodate any check outs after 3:00PM without a previously submitted note.
• During the weeks of final exams, EOC, and AP testing PPO will NOT take any phone calls. If a student is driving or walking, they will be allowed to sign out as long as they present a note. 
• If the student leaves without confirmation of the early dismissal, it will be treated as a class cut (truancy) and disciplinary action will be taken.  Contact PPO @ 770 578-7908 ext. 051.
• Failure to sign out correctly may result in disciplinary action.

The note should include:

• Student's first and last name
• Student ID & Grade
• Time the student needs to leave school
• The reason for the early dismissal request
• Whether the student is driving, walking or being picked up   
• Parent's signature
• Telephone number where parent can be reached during the school day
