General Announcements
Early Dismissal/Leaving Campus
If your student needs to leave campus early, please notify the Attendance Office at least two hours in advance to allow time for processing. You can call 520-327-1990 or email attendance@salpointe.org.
To ensure the safety of all students, the following procedures must be followed:
-
A parent or guardian must provide prior notification to the Attendance Office before a student may leave campus.
-
Students are not permitted to leave campus without clearance from either the Attendance Office or the Health Office.
-
Parents may not remove a student from campus without checking in through the Attendance Office first.
-
Students who are being picked up during the school day must report to the Attendance Office (Student Services Center) to receive a dismissal slip.
Failure to follow these procedures may result in an unexcused absence and/or disciplinary action.
Student Ill or Injured During School Day
Students who feel unwell or are injured during school hours must report to the Health Office (Room 107) to be evaluated by the School Nurse. If your student needs to go home or receive medical care:
-
The School Nurse will contact you directly.
-
The Nurse will notify Attendance when your student is being dismissed.
-
Parents must pick up their student from the Health Office, not the Student Services Center.
For pickup:

-
Pull up to Gate 7.
-
Call or text your student or call the Health Office at 520-547-9395 upon arrival.
