Tomorrow, Monday, August 21 from 4:00-6:00 is our annual BES Open House. Please note that the elementary open house is 4:00-6:00 and not 4:30-6:30. During this time, come meet your teachers, see your classrooms, drop your supplies, and more! The main hallway on the 1st floor will have tables set up with school and community organizations. In addition, our amazing Title Reading team will meet with parents at 4:30 and 5:30 for brief meetings to explain what Title reading is and answer questions. We encourage all parents K-4 to attend one of these sessions, especially if your child received Title services last year. Finally, if you have questions on FinalForms completion, transportation, or need to know who your child's teacher is, our staff in the main office will be ready to help you. We look forward to a great event welcoming all our families back!
On Wednesday, August 23 we will have our first day of school for Grades 1-5. Preschool and kindergarten will have staggered start days Wednesday and Thursday where students will attend only one of those days. Please refer to your mailings from the kindergarten and preschool teams to confirm which day your child attends. On Friday, August 25 we will welcome all kindergarteners at school and on Monday, August 28 we will welcome all preschoolers.
A reminder that doors open each morning at 8:25. Please do not drop students before this time as we do not have staff supervision available prior to 8:25. Students are to proceed directly to their classrooms where breakfast will be waiting for them. We will have multiple staff members stationed around the building to help guide students. We ask that families say their goodbyes at the school building doors.
Dismissal will begin at 3:15 for preschool, 3:20 for kindergarten and first grade, and 3:25 for all remaining students in grades 2-5. Please see the attached document to know where to pick up and drop off students. These locations have not changed from last year. In addition, if you or a designated friend or family member plans to pick up students after school, please ensure that person has a colored pick up card to ensure a safe and quicker pick up. We ask that families bring these cards with them for the first semester of school until allowable adults are known by the teaching staff. Parents and guardians can get these colored cards from homeroom teachers during open house and extras are available from Mrs. Jamie in the front office or from the teachers. Cards will only be given by school personnel to parents and guardians.
Again, we can't wait to have our BESt year yet at BES! We're ready and excited to have our students back with us!
Class assignment postcards are on their way to your mailboxes! Keep an eye out for them and scratch off the silver sticker to reveal your child's teacher for the year!
As a reminder, for BES student safety and privacy, we will not be posting class lists to our doors. We will have staff stationed at Open House with class lists as well.
