Teachers must not release a student to anyone other than the parent or officially designated person(s) without prior, written notice from the parent or notification from the appropriate School Office. The teachers and School have temporary custody and responsibility of all students while they are at school. Unauthorized release subjects the School to serious potential liability and therefore this trust must be professionally executed.
The School Office must be contacted when a student is removed during normal school hours. It is incumbent upon the teacher to ascertain that the student has been properly signed out through the School Office.
A student is never to be released to a person who is not known to the teacher until the teacher has verified that this release is authorized by the appropriate School Office.
