STUDENT ARRIVAL/DROP-OFF Procedures:

• All students not riding the bus should use the front entrance to the school on Tolman Creek Rd.. Families driving their students may use the drop off loop out front.
• Please do not stop your car in front of the school door to let your child out of the car. Instead, pull all the way to the front of the loop to make room for other families to drop off their students behind you so that we don't get traffic backed up into the street.
• Do not get out of your car for any reason in the drop off circle. Make sure your child exits on the right side of the car and is ready to get out when you stop.
• If your child needs assistance for any reason with their seatbelt or managing their things, please park your car to help them and walk them over to the sidewalk.
• Students arriving between 7:50-8:15 will have some free choice/recess activities before the bell rings to go to class.
• Students arriving at 8:15 can report directly to class.
• Students arriving after 8:20 will need to report to the office to check in.

STUDENT PICK UP PROCEDURES:

• Students in Grades K-2 will be picked up in the lower pick up loop at the end of the primary wing of the school. There is a separate entrance and exit to this loop so you don't have to mix with the cars for the other grades.
• Students in grades 3-5 will be picked up in the circle in front of the main entrance to the school.
• Siblings will go to the location of the youngest sibling's grade
• School is over at 2:50. That means your student will not be available to be picked up until after 2:50. Please do not arrive to the parking lot earlier than about 2:47 at the earliest to pick up your child. This causes traffic to back up on the street and gridlock in the parking lot that is not fun for any of us, or our neighbors. Traffic flows freely once the students are outside and ready to go. If you aim to arrive right at 2:50, that will probably work best, after that traffic is flowing!

Bellview is very fortunate to have an active and supportive Parent Teacher Organization! There is no fee to join and if you are a Bellview parent or guardian you are already a member! They meet several times a year in the Library at school to make plans for fun events and fundraisers. Please consider joining us!
