WITHDRAWING STUDENTS

There are a few procedures you will need to follow in order to withdraw students from school. In order to withdraw a student from school, student services need to be given a 24-hour notice. Classes cannot be interrupted to withdraw a student; therefore please contact the school 24 hours prior to students last day off attendance. Students will be given their withdraw slip to carry with them to each class though out the day on their last day. A parent or guardian must be present in order to sign the withdraw slip to complete the withdraw process. A copy of all withdraw papers will be given to the student to take with them to enroll in their new school with all information for the new school to request records.

  • Please bring all your child's textbooks, library books, and other school property with you to turn in at this time. Be prepared to pay for pending fines, or missing materials.
  • Please be prepared to show identification to prove you are the legal parent or guardian of the child you are planning to withdraw. 
  • If possible, have the name and address of the school your child will transfer to.
