  • Students may not have any outstanding fines or fees from a previous year.  All fines and fees are posted in PowerSchool.  All payments must be submitted online.  Please click the link at the bottom of the page.
  • The student will not take students off campus who are not authorized to leave.
  • The student will return to school for the remainder of the school day.  Note:  if a student becomes ill while off campus, a parent/guardian must call the Attendance Office to check the student out.  The student must present a parental note to the Attendance Office upon return to school.  Failure to check out properly will be treated as skipping.
