Early Dismissals: 

ALL same-day early dismissals must be submitted through ParentVue by 1:00pm, and at least 30 minutes prior to the dismissal time. Early Dismissal requests submitted through Parent Vue AFTER 1:00PM, WILL NOT be processed. 

If you are picking up your student without a ParentVue or previously submitted request, you must COME INTO the building to the main office, present your ID and fill out a form for dismissal.  You can request an early dismissal via ParentVue, or sending a handwritten note with your student to be turned into Attendance first thing in the morning. 

We DO NOT accept early dismissals over the phone for student safety reasons. 

If your student is sick and needs to go home, the student must visit the Clinic to receive a dismissal pass from the school Nurse. 

There are no Walk in Early Dismissals after 3:45 PM. You will not be able to sign out your student out after 3:45 PM 

Please enter Tardies into ParentVue 

All Tardies and Early Dismissals will be marked UNEXCUSED, unless a Dr’s note, PT appointment schedule etc. is received. 

Notes can be uploaded to ParentVue at any time, please put in the comments section what date the note is for. 

Absences 

If your student is absent from school, please report this in ParentVue or call the school.

All Student Athletes must have a doctors note, dentist, or other type of documentation if they are tardy to school or leave via early dismissal. Student Athletes will not be allowed to practice or play without documentation. If the student is absent for the day, they will not be allowed to practice or play that day.

Thank you!

Students are considered on time if they are in the classroom by the time the bell begins to ring.

Tardy-to-School / Per Semester: Tardiness is not acceptable because it disrupts class, reflects a negative attitude toward the class, creates disruptive problems in the corridors, and develops a habit, which could make future employment difficult. Students will be considered tardy to school if they are not in their assigned classroom by the time the bell begins to ring to start the day.

Guidelines-This is per class period, per semester.

Eighteen or Older: Eighteen-year-old students are not bound by Virginia’s compulsory attendance laws. They may be dropped from the rolls for various violations of school rules including poor attendance, behavior difficulties, willful violation of rules and regulations, lack of cooperation and lack of effort.

Eighteen-year-old students who choose to remain in school are expected to comply with all rules and regulations including attendance requirements. This includes adhering to the early dismissal policy where parent notes and/or phone messages are submitted to attendance for consideration.

Make-Up Work: It is the student’s responsibility to get assignments and complete make up work prior to returning to class whenever possible. With permission from the teacher additional time to complete assignments may be given in special situations. When a student misses a previously announced quiz, test, project, or other assignment, the student should make arrangements with the teacher to complete the work in a timely manner. Failure to complete such make-up work within the time allowed may result in a failing grade for those assignments, tests, or other work. Make-up work turned in within the time allowed will be graded on the same basis as other work. With block scheduling, all students are encouraged to enlist a study partner to contact when an absence occurs.
