Dismissal from School for Illness
If your student contacts you during the school day stating they are not feeling well please instruct them to visit the nurse. Our nurses are here to support your student and offer interventions that can assist them in reducing missed academic time. If the nurses assess that your student should be picked up from school, the nurse will contact you directly.
If your child contacts you directly requesting to be picked up and you decide to do so, the dismissal process is to contact our attendance office following school policy (HSAttendance@pasd.com). If you arrive to school to pick up your student and they have not visited the nurse's office to be assessed, this will be coded as a parent excused absence and not a nurse's dismissal. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
