Early Dismissal / Student Pick-up Policy
All students must be signed in and out in the office. Students will only be released to adults, and only those indicated on emergency cards or by personal letter.
Attendance Philosophy
School attendance is the responsibility of the student, his/her parent or guardian, and the school. The Pleasant Valley Community School District expects students to be in school every day. Under the Federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), each school is expected to maintain, at a minimum, a 95% average 8 daily attendance throughout the year. Achieving this goal requires planning ahead and keeping school attendance a high priority. With this goal in mind:
- Doctor and dentist appointments should be made outside the school day whenever possible.
- Family vacation trips taken during school days are discouraged.
Please view our Student/Parent Handbook for our full Attendance Policy.
Leaving School
You must have written permission from your parents or guardian to leave school at any time. No one may leave the school grounds during the school day without permission from the principal or dean of students. You must sign out in the office and indicate the departure time and destination. When returning to school, you must sign in at the office. If you want to ride home on someone else’s bus, a parent or guardian must write a permission note. This note must be initialed in the office before the end of first period.
