No Permits-to-Leave school will be issued during registry.  Between 9:40-10:30 AM after Registry, Re-Admits and PTL’s will be issued by Ms. Schmidt in room 104.  A student must secure the signatures from all his/her teachers and return the Re-admit slip to the Dean within THREE DAYS of the absence.

                  Permit-To-Leave Slip (PTL for App’t) – if a student needs to leave early/during the day due to a DR./DDS appointment/other (not illness), s/he needs to bring a signed parent note to the Attendance Office or to Ms. Schmidt according to the times listed in the Re-admit section.  Students must have the PTL signed by the parent/guardian and returned the following morning.
