completed before May 1 st . Documentation from the
college/university Office of Admission/Scholarship visited must be
given to the post secondary counselor the first day the student is

Early Dismissals
A student wishing to leave school during the day must present
a note from his/her parent to the Office of Student Services by
7:50 AM. Parents should indicate in the note the reason for the
early dismissal and the time they would like the student to be
released. At this time the student will be issued a pass to leave the
appropriate class. Students are to sign the register in the Office of
Student Services upon leaving and are to check in with the Office
of Student Services upon return. Students leaving school due to
medical, court, or other appointments are required to bring a note
from the doctor or dentist within 7 days upon returning to school
to OSS. Students are allowed three early dismissals during a
semester. Those early dismissals covered by a return to school
form/note from a doctor, dentist, or the courts will be considered
excused and will not count in this total. A demerit will be issued
for every early dismissal after three not excused by said form/note.
No early dismissal requests left on any voice mail will be accepted.
