BES Parent Update

We're excited to see everyone for testing days Monday and Tuesday and for our FIRST DAY of school on Wednesday! We have an amazing team this year ready to work with your kids. I wanted to send a few reminders to start the year off right!

• The main entrance doors and playground open at 7:30 am. There is no adult supervision prior to 7:30.
• Preschool entrance opens at 7:35 am
• If your student arrives after 7:50 am parents need to park and check them in at the office.
• All students will go to the playground after being greeted at the front doors.

School is dismissed at 3:50. Students will come out of the building at the specified location of their grade level. Please use the same procedures when picking your children up. Wait for your child on Senter traveling west or 11th traveling north. Please park along adjacent streets to walk and pick up your child if you wish. Please pay close attention to our Crosswalk and follow their directions!

As the year progresses we will continue to assess your child to determine their strengths and needs using the following tests. Please encourage your child to always do their best with each assessment!

Start the school year off with strong routines at home. We know families are busy at home and a strong routine can help make school days better. Here are a few tips:

• Get plenty of rest! Set your child's bedtime and try to stick to it. Kids should be getting between 8-12 hours of sleep each night depending on their age.
• Make a bedtime routine! Set out clothes for the next day, take care of personal hygiene, shut off any screens 30 minutes before bedtime, read a book and relax before lights are out.
• Plan for the next day! Set backpacks by the door. Put shoes and coats by the door. Give yourself plenty of time to get ready and start each day off right!
