Students Leaving Campus During the School Day
 
School-sponsored field trips, athletic events, or school business can only be cleared by a school official. Students must get an Off Campus pass BEFORE leaving campus. Students who fail to check out through the Attendance Office prior to leaving campus for any reason will receive a Truancy.
This includes 18 year old students.

Parents must notify the Attendance Office so that we may generate a pass and dismiss the student from class. This checkout process takes time and cannot always be completed at the last minute, so advanced notification is required. To keep all students safe, security will not let any students leave without an Off Campus pass from the Attendance Office.

For medical or non-medical appointments: Do not call the Attendance Line, instead, follow this procedure:
  1. Student brings a NOTE from a parent providing the student’s full name and grade level to the Attendance Office.
  2. Indicate that the appointment is for medical or non-medical and the time that the student should be released from class.
  3. Student brings that note to the Attendance Office, first thing in the morning. A pass will be given to the student to show the teacher and security that they have permission to leave campus.
  4. If the student is returning to school, please get a re-admit from the doctor’s office or non-medical office and have the student bring that form to the Attendance Office.
  5. The Attendance Office will issue the required pass for the student to return to class.
If a student is not feeling well or has an emergency, they must follow these procedures:
  1. If you become ill or receive an injury during school hours, you must see the school nurse in the Health Office.
  2. If it is necessary for you to go home, the Health Office will call your parent/guardian to arrange for you to leave or to be picked up.
  3. Before leaving, take the off-campus pass to show campus security at the gate for permission to leave and go home.
  4. On your return from this injury, illness, or any absence, bring a note signed by your parent/guardian and or doctor to report it to the Attendance Office located in the Hawthorne Building.

    Students must remain on campus at all times during the school day. PVPHS is a CLOSED CAMPUS. Students may not leave campus at any time without authorization from a parent or guardian AND verification by the Attendance Clerks or Health Office.
