CHECK-IN PROCEDURE
All students checking in late to school must report to the Main Office immediately upon
arrival to campus to obtain an Admit Slip. Students must be signed in by a
parent/guardian or provide a doctor’s note or a signed note from a parent/guardian, with a
valid phone number.
CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE
Students checking out must bring a note, signed by a parent or guardian and with a
valid phone number, to the Bus Room or the Main Office that morning before 8:20 a.m.
These notes will be verified by a call to the parents or guardians. Checkouts will not be
allowed unless notes can be verified. Parents, guardians, or designees who wish to pick up
a child at the school, must report to the main office to sign the student out. No designee
or emergency contact will be allowed to check students out of school without parent
contact to the school. Check-out procedures apply to all students, regardless of age.
Students will not be allowed to check out for lunch.
BUS NOTES
Students requesting bus notes must bring a note, signed by a parent or guardian and
with a valid phone number, to the Bus Room or Main Office that morning. All bus notes
must include the correct bus number(s). All bus notes will be verified by a call to parents
or guardians. Additionally a student’s destination will not be changed once that student is
on the bus.
VISITORS
All visitors must report directly to the Main Office and obtain a visitor’s pass to be worn
while on school grounds. These passes must be turned in to the office upon signing out.
Any items brought to students (i.e., gym clothes, shoes, money) will be kept in the Main
Office and students will be allowed to pick these items up between classes. In cases of
emergencies, messages will be delivered through the Main Office. Frequent disruptions to
class time interfere seriously with the students’ instructional time and the operation of the
school.
Students are not allowed to have visitors with them during the school day. No visitors are
allowed to eat with students in the cafeteria. Visitors are not permitted to bring food to
students for lunch or at any time during the school day.
Please see the Grayson County Public Schools Policy Manual located at
for full policy description regarding School Visitors.

promptly at the conclusion of the event. No advertisements (notices, announcements) may
be placed in the school building or on the school grounds for out-of-school activities without
permission of the principal or designee.
