STUDENT CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE
Parents did you know that you can save time and stay in your car when you follow our "SPEEDY STUDENT CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE" in advanced?
Whenever you know your student has to leave school early for an appointment, please write a note with your student’s name, and the time they will need to leave that day.
- The student will bring the note to the Student Services Office (in the cafeteria) first thing in the morning.
- The student will complete the sign-out procedure, and they will receive a "Permit to Leave" with the time they need to leave.
- Your child will show the pass to the teacher at that time, and he/she will be allowed to leave and meet you outside of the school.
- Student Services always need parental permission for a student to leave school unless it is the student's lunch hour.
- Please remind your student to always sign out and sign in at our Student Services office
Student Identification Badges
Per PISD school board policy FNCA (LOCAL), “Students in grades 6–12 shall wear an approved student identification (ID) card while on school grounds and while aboard District school buses or other District-provided transportation. Wearing student ID cards may be required at school-sponsored or school-related events as determined by the campus principal. Students may be excused from wearing ID cards during classes where doing so presents a hazard to student safety. While on school grounds, at other District facilities, or at school-sponsored or school-related events, students shall provide access to their ID card to any staff member when requested.”
“Student ID cards shall be worn on a neck lanyard so that the front of the card (photo side) is visible over the outermost layer of clothing. No sticker, pin, or other item shall be affixed to the front of the ID card. Any neck lanyard provided to students by the District shall have a breakaway feature.”
