Dismissals

• Students must obtain a dismissal pass from the main office on the morning of their dismissal. Caregivers must have contacted the school in advance by email, phone, or written note in order for a pass to be issued. At the time of dismissal, the student should present the pass to their teacher. Please note: We do not call into classrooms for dismissals unless it is an emergency.

Feeling Unwell During the School Day

• If a student feels sick during the day, they must report to the nurse. The nurse will assess the student and coordinate dismissal if necessary. Students should not contact caregivers directly to arrange dismissal without first seeing the nurse.
