Early departures of students are disruptive to the entire class. Additionally, a student leaving early will miss important components of his/her Geneva education such as art and music docent lessons, fine arts classes, library, and in some cases core subject instruction. Please schedule extracurricular lessons and appointments for a time that does not require repeated, early departures.
If for any reason a student must be picked up from school prior to 3:00pm, an advance email to all three of the following is required: homeroom teacher, School Secretary and Grammar School Administrative Assistant. This is critical in allowing efforts to be made to understand where the student will be at the time of early departure, having the student prepared with their belongings regardless of where on campus he/she may be, and most importantly, minimizing classroom disruption. The parent or guardian picking up a student early must come to the main office to sign out a student before taking the student off campus prior to 3:00pm. After 3:00pm, student pickup will have to wait until the regular dismissal time starting at 3:15pm.
Patterns of early departure or consistent appointments made at the same class time will result in a conference with the Grammar School headmaster.
