Parents should notify the classroom teacher and the school office, in writing or by phone, of the child’s last day of attendance. Notification should be as soon as they know they will be leaving Pope Elementary, but at least 5 days prior to the students last day. Parents should come to the office to clear the student’s records and pick up a transfer form to take to your child’s new school. A student withdrawing from school twenty days or less before the end of the school year will still be eligible for promotion. Please provide a copy of the sponsor’s PCS orders to the office staff for inclusion in the student’s records. Parents should complete the withdrawal procedures before the end of the school year if they plan to leave during the summer months.
