Some of the documents have tight formatting. Customization of these documents (Student Emergency Contact Card, Parents' Wallet Card and the Student Release Model Guide), even minor changes in text, may disable the layout.
Certain situations may involve releasing students from school or relocating them at a time when parents expect their children to be at the school site. Such actions are authorized by the superintendent or principal only in times of extreme emergency. It is preferred that students remain at school during the academic day.
The documents below were developed by a working group of school administrators, staff and parents to facilitate student release and standardize procedures among Marin County schools.

Unused medication is returned to families at the end of the school year.
