Late Arrivals

Early Check-out of Students

We are very concerned about the safety of all of the children here at Lilburn Elementary. All visitors will be required to show photo ID through our Visitor Management System (buzz in) before entering our building. For security reasons, only enrolling parents/guardians and individuals listed as emergency contacts by the enrolling parent will be permitted to check out a student after showing their photo I.D. (i.e.: Driver's License, State Issued ID, or Passport) prior to having a child released to exit the building with him/her. There is no student check-out after 2:30 PM.

 

Dismissal

All students are dismissed at 3:20 p.m. Parent vehicular traffic is routed to the side of the building both in the morning and afternoon. Due to the traffic congestion, you are encouraged to use the bus in lieu of providing individual transportation. Cars are not permitted in the bus lanes between 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. No checkouts can occur after 2:30 p.m.

 

Attendance

The staff of Lilburn Elementary School encourages parents and students to make prompt and consistent attendance at school a priority. Attendance is extremely important to a successful school experience for your child. In the event of excessive absence or tardiness, the classroom teacher will send a note to the parents and /or place a phone call. The social worker may contact parents if such problems continue. Parents are required to send a note explaining the reason for your child's absence from school. The following reasons for absences are valid:
  • For personal illness
  • For a death or serious illness in the immediate family
  • For recognized religious holidays observed by your faith
  • For absences mandated by order of governmental agencies
  • For conditions which render school attendance impossible or hazardous to health and safety.
  • For each absence, a note explaining the absence must be brought to school on the following day.
  • Please note that vacations are NOT excused absences. Students who are away from school for 10 consecutive days (unexcused absences) will be withdrawn from school. Upon return, parents can re-enroll students, but placement in previous classroom cannot be guaranteed.

Car Rider Procedures

As a result of a recent safety audit provided by the county’s Safety and Security Office, we have updated our safety plan to include the following to the car rider procedures:
  • Parents will not enter campus for drop off prior to 8:20 am
  • Parents will not enter campus for pick up prior to 3:20 pm
  • Parents visiting our campus should always sign in and receive a visitors’ pass.
  • I agree to turn off my car engine in the car rider lane if I arrive before 8:20 am or 3:20pm.
  • I agree not to use a cell phone during drop off or pick up.
  • I agree to drop my child off in the designated car rider area.
  • I agree not to drop off my child before 8:20am.
  • I understand that the car rider lane will close at 8:45 am. I realize this means that the car rider area doors are to be closed and locked at 8:50 am each morning. I agree to park in the side lot and walk my child to the front office if I arrive after 8:50 am.
  • I understand that students arriving at school at 8:20am are tardy and must be signed in by a parent.
  • I agree to have my car rider number (the actual card) issued by the school when picking up my child in the car rider lane. If I do not have my tag, I will park in the side parking lot and walk to the front office to show my ID to pick up my child.
  • I understand that dismissal begins at 3:20 pm and ends at 3:35 pm. If I am late, I agree to pick up my child in the front office and sign him/her out, showing my ID.

Please Note: It is confusing to young children to alternate between daycare, parent pick-up and buses. Your child is more confident with a dependable routine.

SHOULD YOU NEED TO CHANGE DESTINATIONS, A WRITTEN NOTE FROM THE CHILD'S PARENT OR GUARDIAN INDICATING THE CHANGE IN HIS/HER TRANSPORTATION HOME IS REQUIRED ON THE MORNING OF THE CHANGE. THIS NOTE SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE FRONT OFFICE BY THE CHILD TO BE SIGNED BY A SCHOOL OFFICIAL.

It will also be permissible for a parent or guardian to FAX a note to the school office. Our FAX number is (770) 931-5627.

VERBAL PERMISSION WILL NO LONGER BE GRANTED IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF YOUR CHILD. IN THE ABSENCE OF A NOTE FROM YOU, YOUR CHILD WILL BE PLACED ON HIS/HER USUAL MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. Because the safety of your child is our primary concern, our office staff may check the locator card or ask you to provide identification.

Messages to Teachers

Visitation

We welcome and encourage parents to visit the school. For your child's security, ALL parents and visitors are required, by county policy, to sign the Visitor's Register in the front office when entering and leaving the building. You will be issued a visitor's badge which must be worn and visible at all times during your visit. As a courtesy, please notify your child's teacher if you would like to make a classroom visit. Teachers strive to maximize instructional time with students and are unable to confer with parents without an appointment. Due to space constraints, we will not be able to accommodate lunch visitors this school year.
