Who can pick up my children?

Children will not be released to individuals that are not authorized emergency contacts in the student’s ASPEN portal or who do not have written parent authorization. It is expected that emergency contacts in ASPEN are kept up-to-date by parents and guardians at the start of each school year and throughout the year as needed.

Friends and neighbors may sign a child or children out with written permission from a parent or parents. Schools prefer to have written permission on the day that a child’s pickup will change, but schools will also keep written permission on file. School offices will keep the permission notes on file.  Schools will also ask for identification when the child is released to the one(s) mentioned in the permission note. It is advisable to communicate with the teacher as well, perhaps with a copy of the signed written note.
