All students should be picked up no later than 3:25 PM by the school clock on full days, and by 11:20 AM on half-days. As with morning drop-offs, four late pick-ups will be without penalty each quarter. Should a fifth late pick-up occur, the teacher may request a conference with parents and Principal to address the problem more specifically. Family Trips A student may be excused for family trips if this procedure is followed: • A written request from parents to the teacher is submitted, outlining the requested dates at least one week prior to the requested dates. • The teacher will add comments to the request and forward it to the Principal at the conclusion of the same day. • The Principal will add comments to the request based on the comments received from the teacher. • The request will be returned to the parents — via the students — by the end of the next day. Students with low achievement, students not current in their assignments, or students seeking to be absent during inopportune times during the school year (testing period, etc.) will be advised not to be absent. If a student’s absence has been excused for a family trip at a time other than a school-scheduled vacation time, you may request the work your student will miss if you notify the classroom teacher at least ten (10) school days in advance. Leaving Campus All students leaving campus must be signed out by a parent or appropriate adult. Any student leaving campus or absent from class without permission will be suspended from classes for one day. Release of a Student to Other than Custodial Parent/Guardian Heritage Christian Academy will take all reasonable steps to ensure, and safeguard, the safety of children while at school. No student will be released by a teacher during the day unless directed by a custodial parent or guardian by phone or in writing. Emergency forms include up to three names the custodial parent or guardian has designated to whom their child may be released. Should a written or personal request be made by a non-custodial parent for the early release of a child into his/her care, such a request will be honored only with the consent of the custodial parent through a school-initiated telephone conversation, or by receipt of instructions from the court.
