First Leader in Me Monday Event - October 26th 7:30 pm
Next Monday is a busy day because, besides our first Bears Night Out, it also is our very first Leader in Me Monday! The very framework that we are fundraising for to build leaders at BES, also connects families and staff like never before. This series of events will explore different aspects of The Leader in Me mentality, give parents the tools to continue their students’ leadership growth at home, and help build upon Principal Rogers’ motto that “Parents are Partners” and foster a stronger sense of school community.

Please use the "At Home Items" column on each grade level supply list below to purchase supplies that you might not have for your student's at-home learning (but they will need) and save purchasing the "For School Items" for when we return to in-person learning.

Important Reminders
- Student Dress Code -
- Appropriate dress is required of all students at all times. Appropriate clothing is required during all seasonal changes.
- During the winter months, children are expected to wear clothing and boots appropriate for the existing weather conditions.
- During the spring/summer months attire must be suitable for school.
- We ask that students not wear excessive and/or bulky jewelry (ex. necklaces, rings, bracelets, grills).
- No hoods or gloves worn in the building.
- No t-shirts or apparel that mentions or promotes sexual themes, drugs, tobacco, alcohol, vulgar language, or violence.
- No inappropriate pictures.
**Staff, should discreetly let Administration know if they feel a student’s dress is distracting to other students or disruptive to the learning environment. Administration will make the determination and call parents if deemed necessary.
- Appropriate dress is required of all students at all times. Appropriate clothing is required during all seasonal changes.
- Visitors - *Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there are no non-essential visitors at this time* Parents, grandparents, and visitors are required to sign in at the front office and show a photo ID every time they visit BES. This is true for picking up a child, eating lunch with your child or attending any school events.
- Walkers & Bike Riders - If your child is a walker/biker then you must complete a walker form. If you are meeting your child to walk, you will meet across the street from the front playground. There will be staff to help you find the location. You will not come onto campus. In the afternoon, if you have indicated that your child will walk/bike home and someone is not there to meet the child by 3:45 pm, they will return to the school building. You must then come into the school by the front office to pick up your child. If your child is able to walk home alone a form must be turned in stating this even if they are walking with a sibling or a friend. Bike riders will not be permitted to bike home until 4 pm after the carpool traffic has cleared.
- Tardies - We know it is sometimes hard to readjust to a school schedule following the summer but please remember our bell time is 8:45 am. Student drop off will begin at 8:10 am each morning but NOT before. The tardy bell will ring promptly at 8:45 am. If your child is not in the building by the bell, parents must park and walk their child into the school. After buzzing in, the parent must sign the child in as tardy and then the child will receive a tardy pass and proceed to class.
- Classroom Observation - *Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there are no non-essential visitors at this time* All classroom observations visits must be arranged with the teacher at least 2 school days ahead of the requested visit time. An administrator must be made aware of the visit and a BES staff member will accompany the parent throughout the observation. Visitors must follow the school safety policy and sign in with a photo ID to receive a visitor badge that must be worn for the right side of the chest for the entire visit.
- Early Dismissal - If you are picking your student up from school early for ANY reason, you must complete the pickup by 3:15 pm so the front office can begin to focus on the afternoon dismissal of all students.
- Transportation Changes - All changes in transportation MUST be in writing. We will not accept verbal changes from a student or a phone call. Please make sure to send written communication to your child’s homeroom teacher, the front office, and before/after care (if applicable) any time there will be a change. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule.
