If for some reason you must leave, you are required to sign the Parent Sign Out sheet at the front table with a contact number and the name of a temporary guardian. The temporary guardian must be on premises and will be responsible for your child in the case of an emergency. Any child on the premises must be either in a classroom or under the parent/guardian supervision. Palaestra is not responsible for your child’s attendance or timely arrival to class. Palaestra is unable to always monitor your child’s whereabouts. This is the responsibility of the parent(s).
•	Children who can drive are required to sign in at the registration desk providing an emergency phone contact.
•	Palaestra reserves the right to use all photos taken during classroom activities/special events for use in the yearbook, website, brochures, special displays. Students will NOT be identified by name.
