Checkout Policy

CHECKING STUDENTS OUT DURING THE SCHOOL DAY

If a parent or guardian needs to check out a student at a specific time, the following process must be followed by the student and parent/guardian:

• The student should bring a note to the attendance office BEFORE school, on the day of check out. A pass will be issued to the student and that will allow the student to be excused at the specified time.

NO PHONE CALLS will be accepted for checkouts

• The checkout note MUST include:

  • Reason for check out 
  • Check out time 
  • Phone number, should the attendance office need to reach you 
  • Signature of parent/guardian

• The attendance office will issue a checkout pass to the student.

• When it is time for the student to leave, the student will show the teacher the checkout pass issued by the attendance office.

• The student must check out through the attendance office before leaving campus. Because prior approval was already given, the parent/guardian is not required to check out the student.

EMERGENCY CHECKOUTS:

If you need to check out a student, and a note was not sent in with your student, a parent/guardian must come into the attendance office to check out the student or send an email to our Attendance Clerk, Jill Anderton at  andertonJ@fultonschools.org 

Any parent/guardian MUST present their driver's license or passport at check out. The attendance office will verify ID. After ID is verified, the attendance office will send for the student.  Please remember that only parents/guardians and individuals identified on your emergency contact information in Infinite Campus can check your student out. Attendance Office: 470-254-7101 Please note: Students cannot be checked out (without a pre-approved note) after 3:00PM
