Parking Reminder: Fines and Towing for Improper Parking
The Glenn and QB parking lots all have designated lined spots. Vehicles not parked in a designated spot will be subject to a $40 fine. Any vehicle parked in a driving lane may be towed at the owner’s expense. Please follow these guidelines to ensure safe traffic flow and the safety of our campus
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.

  • 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.
