EARLY CHECK OUT

Please try to schedule appointments after school hours. During school hours, students must be checked out through the office, with proper identification. Please do not call the office in advance to have your student dismissed, we will call when you arrive.

Students will only be released to their parents. If you as the parent would like your child released to anyone other than yourself, please provide the following information in writing to the MRES Office:

• Student name

• Specific date
• Time for pickup

  **You may bring in a signed and dated note or email us from the email address we have on file for you with the above information, this CANNOT be done by phone the office MUST have it in writing **

 

TARDIES

All students arriving after 8:45 am must check in at the office for a late slip. Please call the attendance hotline if your student will not be at school before 9:30 am. If you call, please be prepared to provide the following:

• Student first and last name - spell slowly 
• Grade
• Teacher

If tardy due to a doctor appointment, please request a doctor’s note and provide to the office at check-in.
Medical Notes: When your student misses any amount of school for a doctor/dentist appointment, it is beneficial to his/her attendance record to bring an official medical note to the attendance desk. Any all-day absence excused by a medical note does not count toward your student’s absence total.
