Release Time

All students in grades K-12 are eligible to be released from school classes on Wednesdays at 2:30 pm to attend religious instruction classes offered in the various area churches. Students to be released must have on file in the school office a request form signed by the parent or guardian. Request forms are available in the school office and/or at the participating churches. School programs such as bus transportation schedules, daily instructional programs or other school activities will not be altered to accommodate students who elect to participate in the released time program. Complaints regarding the release to attend religious instruction classes should be referred to the Business Manager at PO Box 991, Ripon WI 54971.
