Leaving School During the School Day

Parents, guardians, or authorized adults must report to the front office to sign out their child.
Students will only be released to people authorized on the registration form with a valid picture
ID. Any changes must be in writing. Be sure to bring your picture ID when you come into the
office. Once authorization is verified, the student will be called to the office. Students will not
be called to wait in the office for parents to pick them up.

According to Muscogee County School District Policy, “Students may not be checked out of
school the last 30 minutes of the day.” This means, that from 1:45-2:15 on regular school days,
students will not be allowed to check out. If your child has a doctor or dental appointment,
please bring his/her appointment card to the office when you come for check out.

Re-Entering School During the School Day
Upon your return to school, the parent or legal guardian must report to the main office to sign in
their child. Once the student is signed in, they will be given a pass to return to class.

Dismissal

Book Bag and Car Rider Tags

As an enhanced safety measure, every parent/guardian will be issued one book bag
transportation tag and one car rider tag for each student. Car Rider tags must be displayed
hanging from the car windshield. The car rider tags are reusable and must be turned in at the
end of each year. A $10.00 replacement fee will be assessed for all lost or unreturned car rider
tags. The $10.00 fee must be paid in the front office before a new tag will be issued. Anyone in
the car rider lane without a school-issued tag will have to park and enter for checkout at 2:45
PM with a valid ID.
