In order to better serve our Raider Nation, we are implementing a cutoff time for students to be checked out. All in-person checkouts need to occur BEFORE 2:45 PM. After 2:45 PM, please wait to meet your student at the normal dismissal time.

Our recommendation: 

• Send an email (from the parent/guardian email on file) to rhs.receptionist@leanderisd.org by 10:30 AM  so that an Early Dismissal Pass can be sent to your student prior to the desired dismissal time. This means you will avoid having to wait in line for a pass to be sent to your student and that they can simply meet you in the front of the school at the desired time–you won’t even have to come in! 

• To help ensure dismissal requests can be processed in a timely manner, please submit your dismissal notice the evening before (after 4p the day before) whenever possible. Please DO NOT submit an early dismissal request days or weeks in advance. 

• Requests submitted 30 minutes or less before the expected leave time do not allow sufficient time for processing and will result in delays. Providing advance notice helps us ensure everything is communicated and processed appropriately. 

In conclusion:

• Send an email (from the parent/guardian email on file) to rhs.receptionist@leanderisd.org by 10:30 AM so that an Early Dismissal pass can be given to your student prior to his/her desired dismissal time. Please DO NOT submit a request days or weeks in advance. Requests submitted 30 minutes or less before the expected leave time do not allow sufficient time for processing and will result in delays. Providing advance notice helps us ensure everything is communicated and processed appropriately. 

• Our auto-response is confirmation that your email was received by our office. 

• Early dismissal notes and emails will not be accepted after 10:30 a.m.   The 2:45 PM cutoff time is simply for in-person checkouts.

• Please be advised that any attempt to check out a student during his/her lunch or extracurricular activity period, especially athletics, will result in a longer wait. Be mindful of your student's schedule before you arrive to sign them out.   

• On early release days (12/18/26 & 5/27/27) the cutoff pickup time will be 11:45 AM.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
