BBES Procedures for the Morning
Buses: All busses will enter the southeast entrance and park in the front of the school (#5 on the map). Students will be dismissed by a staff member and enter by Door 23 or Door 1 depending on grade level.
Walkers: Walkers can enter the school and wait by the yellow gates near the gym area in the front of the school (#6 on the map). Parents may wait with students at this grassy area until 8:20 am. A staff member will direct students to the building and students will enter at Door 2 by the gym.
Car Riders (Parent Drop-Off): Cars will enter the southwest gates. All cars MUST enter from Bristol Bay Drive. Bertram Drive is where the buses and staff cars will be entering. Gates will be opened at 8:15 am (#1 on the map). Cars form two lines and will pull up to the stop area (#2 on the map). At 8:20 am staff will be present for arrival. Cars will be released by a staff member to enter the parking zones. Staff will hold red flags to indicate it is unsafe for students to exit cars. Staff will hold white flags when it is safe for students to exit the car. Once all students have exited, the cars will move forward (#3 on the map). Cars will need to merge from two lines to one line to prepare to exit the lot. Cars need to stop by the kindergarten front area because there may be bus traffic in the front of the school. Cars will then exit by the southeast (#4 on the map). Students will enter Doors 13 and 20 in the back of the school.
Daycare Buses: Daycare buses will enter with the other buses and can move to the far south of the lot. Students will be dismissed from here and enter Door 2 by the gym.
SAFE: Parents may use the front lot to drop off for SAFE. Students should be at SAFE by 8:00 am.
Bikes/Skate Boards/Scooters/ Hover Boards: Both students and parents wishing to ride one of these to and from school are welcome to do so. We ask that once on school grounds you walk instead of ride. There is a bike rack in front of the school. This helps keep all students, parents, and staff safe in more congested areas.
BBES Procedures for the Afternoon
Buses: Buses will park in the front of the school (#5 on the map). Staff will assist students in getting on the correct bus. Students riding a bus will exit Door #1.
Walkers: Walkers will exit through Door #2. Parents should wait in the grassy area by the yellow gates (#6 on the map).
Car Riders (Parent Pick-Up): Cars will enter the southwest gates. Gates will be opened at 3:10 pm (#1 on the map). Cars form two lines and will pull up to the stop area (#2 on the map). At 3:33 pm staff will be present for dismissal. Cars will be released by a staff member to enter the parking zones. Students will look for their car. Parents may use a car sign with their student name to help staff get students to the correct car. Staff will hold up a white flag when the line can move forward. Please encourage your child to know who is picking them up. If a student is running late in the building, we may ask a car to pull around to the back of the line so as not to hold up the rest of the line. Once all students are safely in the car, the cars will move forward (#3 on the map). Cars will need to merge from two lines to one line to prepare to exit the lot. Cars need to stop by the kindergarten front area because there may be bus traffic in the front of the school. Cars will then exit by the southeast (#4 on the map).
Daycare Buses: Daycare buses will enter with the other buses and can move to the far south of the lot. Daycare students will meet in the gym and staff will escort them to the correct daycare bus.
SAFE: Parents picking up from SAFE will enter the front of the lot (after 3:50 pm) and use the system SAFE has for pick-up.
Late Students and Early Pick-Up: If your child is late to school, please call the main office. The office staff will be waiting for your child to arrive at school. If you need to pick your child up from school early, please send a note to the homeroom teacher. Once you arrive, please come to the front area of the school and ring the buzzer. We will have you wait in our vestibule, and you will need to show your ID and sign your child out of school.
