For those that may not know, my name is Myrna Metayer and I am the Family and Community Support Specialist Provider (FCSSP) at Bulkeley High School. This will be my 14th year working for Hartford Public Schools.

SIGNING YOUR CHILD IN/OUT OF SCHOOL - ARRIVING LATE OR LEAVING EARLY
Students that arrive at school after 7:30 a.m. are considered tardy. If you arrive at school later than 7:30 a.m., please have the student check in at the office to sign in before heading to class. Your child will receive a late pass to enter their classroom.
If your child needs to leave school early, please check in at the Main Office and the child will be dismissed. All excused notes regarding absences from school or any doctor's must be turned in to the Main Office the next day or upon return to school.
Family members picking students up must be listed as a contact and will be required to present an I.D. to staff. Students will not be released to anyone without this identification.
