Checking OUT your student

When checking out your student, please remember the following:

We will call your student down as soon as you arrive in the front office. This is to optimize instructional time and respect our classroom teachers working so hard to support our students!
We will need to verify your ID, so please make sure you have identification with you for verification.
If you send an emergency contact to pick up your student, please ensure they are listed on your student’s profile. We will NOT release a student to an emergency contact who is not listed.
