Students are not to leave school during the day without the permission of and notification to the main office. A phone call or telephone message will NOT be an accepted way to have your student released from school. There are two ways that a student can sign out of the building:

1. Students MUST have a handwritten, signed note, from a Skyward approved parent/guardian, stating the requested dismissal time along with their telephone number in the event any questions arise. An email to attendance (PJJacobs-Attendance@pointschools.net) can be an accepted ‘note’ for early dismissal if the email comes from a Skyward approved contact. The email will be forwarded to student & teacher alerting them of the early release.
   
   At the specific time to be released, the student should show the note to the teacher, go to their locker to get whatever they need, and then report to the main office with their note to sign out of the building. Once the student is signed out, they may meet their parent outside at an arranged pick-up location.
   
   

2. If a parent/guardian does not send a note, parents/guardians must report directly to the Main Office through the security door (Door #1 - see photo below). Please bring a form of identification. Staff will assist in getting your student UPON your arrival. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early in order to have sufficient time to arrive to any appointments as it may take time to locate your student depending on their location.

Students will only be allowed to leave the school in the company of a parent, legal guardian or an individual specified as an emergency contact. Exceptions to this rule can only occur if parents or legal guardians contact school prior to the student’s departure. Administrative permission may be requested.

The doorbell to the Main Office has moved! You may still enter the building via Door #1 (please see picture above); however, the doorbell is now on the OUTSIDE of the building instead of inside the vestibule. Please ring the doorbell (white button) on the wall.

**If you are coming to pick up a student, please be sure to bring a form of identification with you**

During the weeks of September 9th-20th, students at P.J. Jacobs will be taking the Math & ELA FastBridge screener. Students will take this during the Math or English grade level course. Information from this screener will be used to make education decisions for students in our building! Please encourage your students to try their best!

The school district does not provide any type of health or accident insurance for injuries incurred by your child at school. To help avoid loss, the school district is informing you of a voluntary student accident insurance plan for your child. Please view the linked letter from the Business Office for more information on how to access the voluntary student accident insurance plan.
