School Check Out Policy Reminder
This is a friendly reminder that school check outs end at 2:00 PM. Kudos to our parent community for ensuring that the number of student checkouts are drastically reduced from last year. Thank you for your support in that area. In an effort to ensure continuity, our parent community is asked to observe the following school checkout parameters:
- Student checkouts will not be granted based on text message communication to student or on the basis of a note or letter only. All student checkouts must be conducted in person in our school's main office. Students will only be released to parents, guardians or authorized individuals as noted in the MCSD student information data base. An ID is required for check out.
- Our shared goal is to protect and maximize on instructional time. Please be sure to conduct checkouts by 2:00 PM. The school day ends at 3:25 PM. Please schedule all appointments accordingly.
