Dismissal: End of day student schedules include specials, science, social studies, writing, and math. When students are picked up early, they are missing important academics and/or unified arts activities. Please make every effort to schedule appointments after the school day. A note of explanation is required to be submitted to the office as advanced notification if a student needs to be picked up early. Please see the student handbook for more information.  We appreciate your assistance as we provide a safe dismissal for all of our students.
