Attention Parents: If you need to pick up your student for an appointment during the school day, we ask that you call the attendance office IN ADVANCE to arrange for an Off Grounds Pass. The attendance office phone number is 626-3407, and Press 1 for the attendance secretary. It is sometimes difficult and disruptive to classrooms to locate a student at only a moments notice. Also, students should plan to pick up their Off Grounds Pass during morning break or lunch. Thank you very much for your cooperation. (Long)
