Our hearts go out to the families at Annunciation Catholic School and Church Community in Minneapolis. We pray for the families who were directly impacted. No family should go through that.

Please join us in continued prayer for their community and know that the Safety and Security of our school children is a priority of our school and Diocese.

Carline Etiquette

Dear BSS Families,

Please be mindful when picking up or dropping off your children at school. In the morning, students K-8th grade families must use the carline to drop off students. Only Little Knight Parents are required to park their cars and walk their children to the front door. If you arrive after 7:45 am at the Main Campus, you must park your car and sign your children in, as they will be tardy. Do not just leave your children after that time, as there are no teachers outside, and it poses a security concern to your children. If you arrive after 7:55 am at the Middle School Campus, you must do the same, and sign your children in as they will be marked as trady.

When picking up, dismissal at both campuses is at 3:00 pm; unless we have an early release day. Every parent must use the car line. Please, do not park your car and come to the door to pick them up. If you must pick up because of a planned doctor's appointment or other reasons, kindly do so by 2:30 pm so the carline process is not interrupted. We also provided all parents with a couple of car tags, please use them as this will make the car line go faster as we call your children to a dismissal spot. Our teachers and staff will learn the vehicles you usually pick your children up with and the car line will be faster in the coming week.

If you are picking up your children from after-school care, please know that the students will be at the Main Campus at either the cafeteria or the back lawn. If the back gate is open, then the students will be at the back lawn and you will pick up your child from there; otherwise, they will be in the cafeteria and you must ring the bell to let the afterschool care staff let you in. You must sign your child out with the after-school care staff. Please watch out for parents entering and exiting the cafeteria door when driving away or arriving in your car.

We appreciate parents who follow these procedures, are courteous to other parents, and are mindful of our students and staff as we all try to keep our community safe during carline. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support! 💙💛

Etiqueta en la Línea de Carros

Estimadas familias de BSS, 

Tenga cuidado al recoger o dejar a sus hijos en la escuela. Por la mañana, las familias de los estudiantes de K a 8.º grado deben usar la línea de automóviles para dejar a los estudiantes. Sólo los padres de Little Knight deben estacionar sus autos y acompañar a sus hijos hasta la puerta principal. Si llega después de las 7:45 am al campus principal, debe estacionar su automóvil y registrar a sus hijos ya que llegaron tarde. No deje a sus hijos y se vaya después de esa hora, ya que no hay maestros afuera y representa un problema de seguridad para sus hijos. Si llega después de las 7:55 am al Campus de la Escuela Secundaria, deberá hacer lo mismo y registrar a sus hijos ya que serán marcados como trady. 

Al recoger, la salida en ambos campus es a las 3:00 pm; a menos que tengamos un día de salida temprano. Todos los padres deben utilizar la línea de automóviles. Por favor, no aparques el coche y acércate a la puerta a recogerlos. Si debe recogerlo debido a una cita médica planificada u otros motivos, hágalo antes de las 2:30 p. m. para que no se interrumpa el proceso de línea de automóvil. También proporcionamos a todos los padres un par de etiquetas para el automóvil; úselas ya que esto hará que la fila de automóviles vaya más rápido cuando llamamos a sus hijos a un lugar de salida. Nuestros maestros y personal aprenderán los vehículos con los que normalmente recogen a sus hijos y la fila de autos será más rápida la próxima semana.

Si va a recoger a sus hijos del centro de cuidado después de la escuela, sepa que los estudiantes estarán en el campus principal, ya sea en la cafetería o en el jardín trasero. Si la puerta trasera está abierta, entonces los estudiantes estarán en el jardín trasero y usted recogerá a su hijo desde allí; de lo contrario, estarán en la cafetería y usted deberá tocar el timbre para que el personal de cuidado después de la escuela le deje entrar. Debe firmar la salida de su hijo/a con el personal de cuidado después de la escuela. Tenga cuidado con los padres que entran y salen por la puerta de la cafetería cuando se alejan o llegan en su automóvil.  

Apreciamos a los padres que siguen estos procedimientos, son corteses con otros padres y son conscientes de nuestros estudiantes y personal mientras todos tratamos de mantener segura a nuestra comunidad escolar durante la línea de automóviles. ¡Gracias por su cooperación y continuo apoyo! 💙💛

Some friendly reminders:

• Please note of a dismissal time change every Wednesday beginning on September 3rd for both campuses. To have more professional time with the faculty/staff, and the fact that we do not have teacher workdays, dismissals on Wednesday will be at 1:45pm. Schedules were created to make sure students would not lose one hour of academic instruction of core classes. Students will be dismissed at 1:45. At two o’clock, students not picked up will go directly to afterschool. Students already enrolled in after-school will have no extra fee for the extra hour. 
• Make sure that you review our Club Knight Afterschool Care Services and CLICK HERE to sign your child up for afterschool care services.

Middle School Temporary Drop Off and Dismissal Procedures

Procedimientos de entrada y salida temporal de estudiantes de la escuela secundaria

Due to heavy rains, our middle school parking lot is not finished yet. We pray for the rains to subside as we start our school year. We hope that our parking lot will be finished in the coming month. We will keep you updated of the construction progress.

Debido a las fuertes lluvias, el estacionamiento de nuestra escuela secundaria aún no está terminado. Esperamos que las lluvias disminuyan al comenzar el año escolar. Esperamos que nuestro estacionamiento esté terminado el próximo mes. Los mantendremos informados sobre el progreso de la construcción.

If you have a child attending 6th, 7th, or 8th grade, please drop off at the back parking lot of the middle school campus. To prevent a traffic bottleneck on S Fisher St, please come to the middle school campus via W Davis St. Here is our temporary drop-off route for middle school families:

Si tiene un hijo/a que cursa 6.º, 7.º u 8.º grado, por favor, déjelo/a en el estacionamiento trasero del campus de la escuela secundaria. Para evitar congestiones de tráfico en S. Fisher St., por favor, llegue al campus por W. Davis St. Esta es nuestra ruta temporal de entrega para familias de la escuela secundaria:

For Dismissal, First Presbyterian Church is so kind to allow us to use their parking lot as part of our dismissal route. Please access it via W 5th St, where the Women's Resource Center/Meals on Wheels entrance is, and follow the parking lot until you see one of our teachers to stop. Then, we will let 4-5 cars enter our back parking lot at a time to pick up students, and then you will make a right on Maple Ave., and exit via W Davis St. Here is a map of the route for your reference:

Para la salida, la Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana tiene la amabilidad de permitirnos usar su estacionamiento como parte de nuestra ruta. Por favor, acceda por la calle W 5th, donde se encuentra la entrada del Centro de Recursos para Mujeres/Comidas a Domicilio, y siga el estacionamiento hasta que vea a uno de nuestros maestros para que se detenga. Luego, permitiremos que entren de 4 a 5 autos a la vez en nuestro estacionamiento trasero para recoger a los estudiantes. Después, gire a la derecha en la avenida Maple y salga por la calle W Davis. Aquí tiene un mapa de la ruta para su referencia:
