  • MHS will not process student check-outs after 2:15 PM daily.

Special Events & Circumstances

On days with special events or circumstances (e.g., Pep Rallies, Inclement Weather, Testing Days), the following policy applies:

  • A parent or guardian must call the main office by 10:00 AM on the day of the event to request an early dismissal.

  • After 10:00 AM, front office staff may be assisting in other areas of the building and cannot guarantee availability in the attendance office.
