leaving during school hours

Most schools for students in kindergarten through high school (K-12) have policies that prohibit students from leaving the school grounds or campus during school hours. If students do need to leave the campus they will usually be required to be picked up by an adult (age 18 or older) who is on the student’s emergency contact list and who shows identification at the time of pickup.

For a doctor or dentist appointment schools may require a note from the health care provider for the student’s absence to be excused.

In New Hampshire, K-12 schools typically have policies in place that prevent students from leaving school grounds during school hours to ensure their safety and accountability. These policies require that if a student needs to leave campus, they must be picked up by an adult who is at least 18 years old and is listed on the student's emergency contact list. The adult must also present identification upon pickup. For absences due to medical appointments, such as with a doctor or dentist, schools may mandate a note from the healthcare provider to classify the absence as excused. These policies are designed to maintain a secure educational environment and to comply with state attendance laws, which require schools to monitor and report attendance, including excused and unexcused absences.
