E-Hall Passes and Early Releases
If you need to pick your child up from school before the end of the school day, please make sure you fill out an Attendance Request in Campus Parent Portal. Students will then receive an appointment pass in E-Hallpass. Please remind your child to check their E-Hallpass every hour.
Unless it's a last-minute emergency, please also give your student a reminder before they go to school if you are picking them up early. As a second scoop, you are welcome to text them if they have a cell phone, as most students check their phones between class periods and at lunch. You may also email your child using their school email address as well.
