A new recommendation form is created for you to serve the student next year!

Staff should try to contact the parent/guardian for the first 30 minutes. If unsuccessful, they should contact emergency contacts listed on the form. If no contact is made and no transport permission is given, 911 must be called, and the supervisor should be notified.
