How can a student check out early from school?
A parent may come into the West Mall Office and check a student out at any time with proper identification. In addition, as described in the Student Handbook, a student may bring in an early dismissal note signed by their parent stating the time the student needs to be dismissed and with parent phone numbers on it to the West Mall office BEFORE 8:30 a.m. The West Mall Office staff verifies each note they receive by calling the student's parent. If a student fails to bring in their early dismissal note before 8:30 a.m., the parent MUST COME IN TO THE OFFICE TO SIGN THE STUDENT OUT.Back to Top
What if my child gets sick, parks on campus, and needs to leave school early?
If the student's parent has given written permission for dismissal in case of illness by checking the appropriate box on the student's parking permit application, the student may go to the West Mall Office and request early check-out. The West Mall Office staff must speak with a parent in order to receive permission to allow the student to drive home EVEN IF THE PARENT GAVE PERMISSION ON THE PARKING PERMIT APPLICATION. This policy is enforced so that parents are notified when their student leaves campus. If such permission is granted by the parent, the student will be issued a check-out note and allowed to leave campus. If no parent is available by telephone, the student will not be allowed to leave campus. Any student who parks off campus in unapproved parking and does not have a BHS parking permit will NOT be allowed to leave campus without a parent coming into the school and physically checking their student out.Back to Top
