Attendance Regulations
ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
Students should arrive no earlier than 7:15 am. The school day begins at 7:45 am. Any student arriving after 7:45 am must report to the office with a parent to be signed in and receive a tardy slip. All car drop-offs are in the back of the school, except students arriving after 7:45 am. They must be brought into the office by the parent. All afternoon car riders are picked up in the back of the school at 3:30 pm by an approved person with a GPMS car tag with the student's name. Bus riders are dismissed at 3:32.
NO BUS CHANGES or CAR NOTES WILL BE MADE OVER THE PHONE. You must send a note to school with your child indicating the change or come by the school and write a note. Children who are picked up during the day must be signed out in the office by an adult who is listed on their student information card. Please bring ID to verify your identity. If they return later that same day, they must be signed back in. Adults who are not listed on the students' information card will not be allowed to check them out of school for any reason.
EARLY CHECK-OUT AND TARDIES
In the event that it becomes necessary for a child to checkout of school during the regular school day, the accompanying adult will go to the office to sign the student out of school. Please be prepared to show photo ID. After three early checkouts/tardies, a letter will be sent home for you to sign and return. After 5 unexcused early checkouts/tardies you will be referred to truancy court. For the safety of our children no transportation changes will be made over the phone.
