The administration is looking at other options; however, in the interim, please submit your excuse notes by Fax at 972.502.4401 or in person in the Main Office.

Student Early Release Procedure

Students are expected to stay at school from the time they arrive until the end of the school day at 4:30 PM.

If a student has to leave early, a parent/guardian must come to the main office and sign out, present the proper identification, and check the student out of school.

Pickup Times 

10:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.

If your student has an appointment or needs to leave early be sure to arrive before 3:45 p.m. 

Pickups after 3:45 p.m. will have to wait until the school bell rings at 4:30 p.m.

If you designate a person to pick up your child, the designee must present a picture ID and must be listed on your child’s contact information.
