REMINDERS FROM THE FRONT OFFICE
Early Check-out and Early Dismissal:
There are no check outs after 3:45pm. To check a student out early, your name must be included in the computer system as someone the student can be released to. Make sure to have a valid photo ID.
We ask that your students brings a note in to the front office, upon arrival, for prearranged check-outs.
The note needs to include the following information:
-Student’s legal first, last name
-HR teacher
-Date, specific time of pick-up
-Reason for leaving
-Signature of enrolling adult
-Name of person picking up student
**Please check your “Release to” contacts in ParentVUE. As the enrolling adult, you manage your student contacts. A person must be listed as a student contact with “release to” rights to pick up your student. You can find instructions on how to do so in the Resource tab of the menu on our Dickerson website, http://www.cobbk12.
IS YOUR STUDENT COMING IN LATE?
-Please write a note explaining their tardy. Your student will bring their note to front office and sign-in. (Notes should include: date, student’s full legal name, signature, and reason for tardy.) Students cannot excuse themselves. Without a note, their tardy will go unexcused.
-Bring medical appointment note, if applicable.
-Parents do not need to walk students in.
If they forget a note, you have 3 days to email a tardy excuse to dickersonmssupport@cobbk12.org
LUNCH REMINDERS:
Lunches (by 11am) and eyewear are the only items accepted in the front office. Fast food is not permitted. The lunch cart sits outside the front entrance of the school until 11 am, then brought in to the cafeteria. Students will not be notified of lunches on the cart. Make sure they know to check it if they forget their lunch.
MEDICATION DROP OFF
Please contact the nurse vanessa.moulthrop@cobbk12.org
ATTENDANCE
We ask that all attendance notes be entered into CTLS Parent. You can respond to the automated absence notification from CTLS or you can email dickersonmssupport@cobbk12.org
The absence remains unexcused unless we receive a CTLS notification.
If there are any attendance issues (maybe your student was marked absent when they were in class), please enter your message into the automated notification link you receive OR email dickersonmssupport@cobbk12.org
For medical appointments, ask for an excuse note for school, and have your student bring it in to the front office when they return.
