Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

2022-2023 CES Welcome Brochure Arrival/Dismissal School Hours

BPS collaborates with All Star Transportation to develop a cohesive system that will ensure safety of students, parents, staff, and public

  • Traffic patterns into and out of school property are safe and orderly
  • Traffic on public roads surrounding schools remains safe
  • Students are socially distanced and accounted for at entry and dismissal
  • Buses and cars peacefully coexist
  • Systematic scheduling of parent drop-off/pick-up to not only create order, but also allow for timely drop-off/pick-up at multiple schools
  • Due to the busy nature of dismissal, students will not be released from the office after 2 o’clock unless written notice of a scheduled appointment or extenuating circumstances is provided to the office. 

Kindergarten and first grade students not taking the bus and being driven to school may be dropped off between 8:30 am and 8:40 am. It is VERY important that students arrive to school on time. Kindergarten and first grade students dropped off after 8:50 am are tardy.

When dropping off students please enter the school parking lot on the right side (when facing the building). Proceed around the back of the building until you get to the side door marked: Stop-Student Drop Off where a staff member will be waiting to let your child out of the car. (For safety reasons it is very important that children are seated behind the driver. We will not take children out of the vehicle if they are not on the driver’s side, but will ask you to park your car and come into the building to drop off your child.)

When exiting the parking lot please keep in mind that school buses have the right of way. If buses are waiting to exit the parking lot, you may be signaled by a staff member to stop at the end of the curb.

It is important to remember that parents/guardians who are dropping off their children should not park the car and walk them in unless it is after 8:40 am. Students arriving after 8:40 am must be brought into the building and signed in. Students are marked tardy at 8:50 am. Students arriving to school on time should follow the drop-off procedures as outlined above.
