According to a state regulation, a child must be signed in or out of school by a parent or legal guardian or by an adult who has written approval by the parent or legal guardian. This means that the parent, legal guardian, or approved adult must come into the building to sign the student in or out of school. A student will not be able to sign himself or herself out of school.
Although we realize this might be inconvenient at times, we appreciate your cooperation in signing your child in/out of school when they arrive late or leave early. Doing this will aide in the safety of all students.
