Picking-up students:
Once your student has obtained a Permission to Leave Pass (P.T.L) via phone/note, the student will meet you in front of the school outside the main gate for pick-up.

distractions. The School Board believes that appropriate attire and grooming contribute to a productive and effective
learning environment. Thus, all students are expected to be groomed and dressed appropriately for age, grade level,
school, and school activities.Student attire or grooming that substantially or potentially disrupts the educational environment or school program
creates a distraction, which interferes with the educational process or classroom activity, or presents a health or safety
hazard to the students or school community is not permitted. The determination of what constitutes a safety or health
hazard, or what constitutes a distraction of students from a classroom activity, or what constitutes a disruption of a school
program or excessive maintenance of school property shall be made by the principal or designee. The principal or designee
shall have final authority to decide if a student’s attire complies with a dress code or uniform dress code, and shall use
reasonable discretion in interpreting and implementing the provisions of this policy. The dress and uniform codes as
