BES Arrival Procedure

All student drop offs by a parent or guardian is at 8:50 a.m. 
All Parents/Guardians/Caregivers are to enter the parking lot and travel along the Route 22 side. Please note that parents are not to park on the grass or in No Parking Zones in the lot.

PK3 & PK4 Drop Off:

Parents of PK3 and/or PK4 students (and their siblings) will enter the staff/student parking lot. This is the first parking lot (Do NOT enter the bus loop) in front of the elementary school playground closest to the flagpole.

Staff members, aides and teachers of PK students will meet cars along this sidewalk and bring students inside. Parents will be expected to get out of their cars and assist their child out of their car seat. See bullets below for other important reminders.

 

K through 5th Drop Off:

Students in grades K through 5 will enter the parking lot (before the bus loop starts) and proceed all the way down until you are in front of the black iron fence that divides the parking lot and bus loop. Staff members will be in this area, the crosswalk and sidewalks to help direct your child cross the bus loop and enter the building. 

Please remember the following:

  • Parents are not to get out of the car. This is a drop and go drop off line.

  • Students are to exit the vehicles on the right side (sidewalk side) to ensure safety from other vehicles in the lot.

  • Students must wait for the signal from the crossing guard/staff member waiting in the crosswalk to help them cross.

  • When pulling away from the sidewalk look to your left to ensure you don’t pull out in front of other vehicles.

  • NO MORE THAN 5 MPH when in the drop off loop. Have patience and wait your turn.

  • If you arrive after the buses depart, you may enter the bus loop. Do NOT enter the bus loop until ALL buses have left the loop. 

It is important to keep in mind your child's school day begins promptly at 8:58, daily. Students that arrive after this time will be considered late to school.

 

BES Dismissal Procedure

 

Mondays through Thursdays 3:35 p.m.

Fridays 3:05 p.m.

*For those students NOT riding a bus*

 

Staff members will pick students up from their classrooms and make their way outside to one of three assigned locations. Parents are asked to park in the first lot as you enter the main campus driveway (staff/student lot) and head to their child’s assigned location.

 THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF SCHOOL WE ASK ALL PARENTS/GUARDIANS/CAREGIVERS to bring photo identification with them to pick-up each day. This will allow our staff members to get to know you by name and face and ensure that we are able to keep all our students safe. In the event that you send someone new to pick up your child during the school year, please be sure to tell them to bring identification for the safety of your child.

 Parents/Guardians/caregivers are asked to stay BACK from our pick-up lines, especially in the first few weeks. This will allow us to account for and keep all of our students safe. We will be instructing our students (your children) to stay in line and wait until the staff member that is with them gives them the direction to go to you. We ask for your support in this and that you are certain the staff member sees you and gives your child to you. Thank you in advance for this support and reteaching with your child.

**Buses will depart the parking lot by 3:45 Mondays through Thursdays and 3:15 on Fridays.
