At Brockton School we believe that students should be developing many important life skills, and in particular independence, responsibility, time-management, and organization. To foster these skills, with parent approval, students in Grade 8-12 are permitted to leave the school campus for a variety of reasons. These reasons are listed below: For Grade 8 - 12 Students: ● Midday scenario: With parental permission, students in grade 8-12 may leave campus for lunch. The student must sign out and in upon departure and arrival. ● Early Dismissal Days: With parent permission, students in grade 8-12 may leave campus at the end of instructional time.* * Note: Students who wish to remain on campus OR students who have been requested (e.g., by teacher/school) to remain on campus OR students who are not permitted to leave campus (e.g., parents want their child to remain on campus) on early dismissal days may engage in quiet study or extra curricular activities. For Grade 11 or 12 Students with Spare Blocks (not supervised support blocks): ● Start of day scenario: If a student has a spare first block of the day and that student has no required commitments at school, the student may arrive at the first scheduled class of the day. The student must sign in upon arrival. ● Midday scenario: Students in grade 8-12 may leave the campus for lunch. They may extend their lunch if they have an attached spare block and if that student has no required commitments at school before or after the lunch break. ● End of day scenario: If a student has a spare block in the last block of the day and that student has no required commitments at school, the student may leave the school at the end of the last block that is scheduled.

In order for students Grade 8 - 12 to leave the school campus it is necessary for them to obtain the permission of their parents. Students must sign out when they leave the school and sign in when they return to the school. This opportunity is a privilege and may be suspended for various reasons including, but not limited to: • A student not complying with the Community Code of Conduct and expectations. • A student being requested to remain in school by a teacher.
