Chaperoning and Checking Out
Chaperoning
If you are interested in helping us chaperone, please shoot me an email at michael.melton@cleburneschools.net. The more parents that chaperone, the smaller the groups can be. I have some parents who have volunteered and I want to say thank you to those parents!
Checking Out
Any student may check out at the mall. Once the parent/guardian signs them out, they are under their supervision. Attached to this paper is a permission slip with a designated sign out portion. Please fill out who is signing your student out on this form.
If you have any questions, always feel free to email me!
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
