UPPER SCHOOL

Reminder: Signing In & Signing Out

Students who arrive late, or leave before the end of the school day, must have permission from a parent or guardian and must always sign in and out at the DSO.

Rules:

• All students are expected to be at Havergal for the duration of the school day. 
• A student who needs to leave school early must provide parental permission through the Student Logistics Request tool in advance of departure. If a student is late for class they must get a late slip from the DSO.

When a student signs out prior to the end of the school day, they are required to leave the premises. When a student is marked for a late arrival, they may not be in the building for the time they are signed out. Further, when a student arrives late, they must sign in at the DSO as soon as possible. Students may not be in the school building when they are signed out because it compromises the accuracy of our attendance records and poses a serious risk in the event of an emergency.

Updated Pick-up & Drop-off Procedures for the Upper School

The school has allocated new resources to enact an efficient procedure for drop-off and pick-up of students.  During the morning drop-off, two guards will be stationed out front to direct traffic flow. The new arrangement will ensure a more controlled traffic flow.  Pylons will be placed along the west curb, to prevent unsafe drop-off practices. The middle lane will be a dedicated drive-through lane. You may use this drive-through lane to drop your student off in the parking lot. When dropping off in the front circle, use only the east curb lane, ensuring that you pull your vehicle all the way to the end of the drive. Security will direct you on whether to exit through the circle or the north parking lot.  Thank you for your patience as we work at ensuring your drop-off/pick-up experience is safe and expeditious.
