Students may not leave campus for any reason. Off-campus requests must be requested through the Early Release Form. All requests submitted prior to 7:45 am for morning students and 11:45 am for afternoon students will be verified with a parent or guardian prior to release by the student by phone call or the email on file. Any requests after 7:45 am for morning students or 11:45 am for afternoon students. For those students who drive themselves, authorization must be done by obtained directly through an Administrator. Parents/Guardians signing students out for Early Release must present proof of identity such as a valid driver's license at the Front Security Desk. Students will not be released via phone call requests or via email request.

All students who leave early are required to sign out at Main Office before they leave the school building.

We cannot release a student from class prior to the arrival of the authorized adult as they must go through proper release format.

Authorized adults other than parent or custodial guardian must be on the student’s emergency contact list. To add an adult to this list, please contact your student’s home school. Authorized adults must be at least 18 years of age and cannot be a student at the Advanced Technology Center.

If a student is caught out of class or off-campus without authorization, they will be referred to an Administrator.
