Care to elaborate. I forgot to mention that the last 20 minutes of school is time for packing, cleaning, and getting in to their various pick up groups.[/quote]

Most schools don't allow pickup within 20 or so minutes of the bell. [/quote]

I have picked up during this time before. Obviously not on a regular basis. I've never heard of it not being allowed... So if you have a kid's medical appointment, you'd have to pick them up extra early even though it's not necessary for the appointment? [/quote]

Yes.  So that you aren't getting in the way of regular dismissal.  School gets out at the same time EVERY DAY.  Plan your appointments as necessary.  It's not that hard.[/quote]

Lucky you, who has never had to schedule regular appointments for therapy or treatment. A parent takes what they can get and is happy to get something.

This is not a medical request. The title is missing school for academic enrichment. Not misting school to go to a medical appointment. [/quote]

And the two immediately previous posts were about medical appointments, one being incredibly smug.

NP that post was in response to a really rude, overbearing post. Totally warranted.

OP, it sounds like this is important to you so you should ask the school. Make it clear you feel this is a good opportunity for your child but don't want to be disruptive to the school.

IME DCUM is not always super connected to reality. I've made the mistake of basing decisions on what people post here, and they were bad decisions that I regretted.[/quote]
