She doesn't need to be protected from her parents.
What is the policy? (this should be on their website, parent handbook, etc -- if they have those things) If the policy is that parents picking up their children from school grounds sign out, you sign out. If not, then it's appropriate to question.My question for him today when I go is "Since I don't get her untill she is already released from class, why do I need to sign her out?"
Or am I just being argumentative?
they are protecting her by making sure that she gets to where she needs to be.
Maybe they should make sure her teeth are brushed and ears cleaned, too.
No actually Pro Se is a great father. And he can do that.Maybe they should make sure her teeth are brushed and ears cleaned, too.
ah, sweet Janie another voice of reason.Here's a thought...
By signing her out, you're proving that you've been getting her earlier than you were previously. And that documentation is never going to be bad for you. You'll also be showing that you're cooperating with the school in every way possible. Also not going to hurt.
Don't think of it as them being controlling. Think of it as them helping you to document exactly what's going on.
....Dude, you are being waaaayyy argumentative. You are not putting yourself in the school's shoes -- only yours. I've had to sign out before as well. With all of the loonies walking around today, do you really think it would be smart for the school -- or any school -- to simply release kids to an adult who "claims" they're mommy or daddy??? Do you realize the huge lawsuits they would face if ONE child wound up kidnapped, sexually assaulted and/or dead? C'mon...My question for him today when I go is "Since I don't get her untill she is already released from class, why do I need to sign her out?"

On school grounds, the school has every damn right to protect the students from ANYBODY ON THEIR PROPERTY! Same goes for school-related functions that might be off-campus. The school is responsible for them.
man...why are you hassling them?Ok, having checked the website for the county school system, I don't see anything there about who kids can be relaesed to. I will just ask about the policy today when I go
'Spescially if you consider the fact that I did this 4 or 5 times prior to this. Where were they then?
You seem all pissed off because you're being inconvenienced by having to get out of your car, walk in and sign something that documents that the child is being turned over to you -- ON THEIR PROPERTY I might add. I am sure your tune would be completely opposite if something happened to a child and this "sign-in/sign-out" policy was not in place (and would be calling for it, too). Perhaps the school had an incident within the district that made them review and/or implement a policy to protect the students and themselves. Can't you appreciate the SAFETY aspect of all of this? And BTW...schools have the right to change/implement policies at any time during the school year. What child doesn't LOVE to parade their parent around the school proudly? I always love going to the kids' school-I want to make sure that i'm a familiar face there and that the teachers/office will WANT to contact me if they need anything. You are lucky to be able to pick her up from school-a lot of parents have conflicting work schedules and such. I bet it makes her very happy when you pick her up. you are such a little darling!!This isn't legal advice, just from one parent to another. I think this is great! You should get out of your car every time you pick her up and march into that office happily to sign her out. Pick up whatever flyers/newsletters they have while you're in there too. A lot of times the office has more info available than they actually send home with the kids. Make sure you say hi to everyone that works there as well!
He just has his panties in a twist over this. But your advice is great. and your smelly post not unnoticed.
