Front Parking Lot Safety
To keep everyone safe, please remember these rules and procedures for parking, pick up, and drop off:
- When picking up or dropping off, pull as far forward as possible. Never stop right at the curve.
- If you are leaving your vehicle, park in a marked stall, not in the pickup/drop off lane.
- Please only cross the parking lot at the designated crosswalk.
- Students should not cross through the parking lot for pickup/drop off unless they are accompanied by the adult they are going with.
- Please encourage all students to follow directions of school staff and city crossing guards.
- Dogs are not permitted on school grounds ever--this is a county ordinance, not a school rule.
- Never park or have any part of your vehicle blocking an entrance/exit.
Thanks for your help with these.
January After-School Movie - January 16
The PTA After-School Movie for January is Lilo and Stitch. We'll be watching on Friday, January 16. The move is about 90 minutes, so plan to pick up students just a few minutes after 3:00.
Purchase your tickets online HERE.
A copy of the permission slip is attached. Students will receive a physical copy on Monday.
Iceberg Sponsorship Night
January 29 from 5 - 8 PM, Iceberg is sponsoring a spirit night for BPE. They will donat 15% of all in-person orders and 25% of all mobile orders.
