Parents are encouraged to volunteer in classrooms, chaperone field trips, and be a volunteer driver. In order to volunteer in the classroom or on school-sponsored functions, all parents or guardians must complete the Volunteer Release Form and be approved through the district process prior to any activities. Please allow up to 2 weeks for processing.

New this year - Volunteer forms will be completed online (see button below). There is an option to fill out the Chaperone Section within the online Volunteer form. Driver forms must be completed using the usual paper copy format. Remember to submit a copy of your current driver's license and proof of insurance with ALL Driver Forms even if you submitted your driver's license online.

Volunteer forms must be completed every year. If you were an approved volunteer last year, you still must complete the process again for the 2024-2025 school year.

All entrances, with the exception of the main front door at Bacon, are for students only. Each morning students should line up at their designated entrance door when they arrive at school. At 8:00am teachers will greet students at their door and walk them directly into the classroom. Please remember that ONLY STUDENTS and teachers are allowed to enter the building at these entrances, all other parents and community members must enter through the main office doors located on Bacon. Visitors (including parents) must sign in at the office and receive a visitor sticker. Please bring your state issued ID to facilitate this process.

If a child arrives after the doors have closed, they must enter the building through the main office. Please do not ask other students to open doors for you.

Students will be dismissed at 3:15pm at their designated door. Children who are not picked up in a timely fashion will report directly to the office. Children attending Kids Zone latch key will be picked up at classrooms by Kids Zone staff on a daily basis.

Two years ago, Berkley Public Safety updated the traffic patterns and guidelines around our schools. Please take the time to review the traffic pattern including designated pick-up and drop-off zones and review the full Angell Traffic Pattern document and map.

• Curbside drop-off & pick-up will take place opposite school grounds, on the resident/house side of the street.

• Please note that during drop-off and pick-up, parking, stopping, and standing on the school side of the street is not permitted to allow public safety quick access to buildings in case of emergency.

• Students will cross at the designated crosswalks at the corners of Bacon & Beverly and Cummings & Beverly

• Students should exit cars on the resident/house side of Bacon and Cummings, walk to the corner, and cross with a crossing guard. Students should exit onto the curb, not into the street.

• Caregivers are encouraged to park and walk with their child to school.

• Parking is allowed opposite school grounds any time of day.

• Angell staff parking lot is reserved for staff only and is not a drop-off/pick-up zone.

• Berkley Public Safety will be enforcing the traffic rules.

Our number one goal at Angell is the safety and well-being of each student. We recognize to accomplish this goal it requires our staff to collaborate with families and students. Please submit the form linked below ONLY if your student has allergies or medication requirements that should be known by the staff at Angell.

Updated District Breakfast and Lunch Food Allergy Policy

The Berkley Schools Food Service Department takes food allergies and student safety very seriously. If a student has any food allergies and they want to eat breakfast and/or lunch at school that requires special accommodations, a physician must fill out the MDE Dietary Needs Form and return it to the office.The form must be filled out correctly for the food service department to make any accommodations. We do the best we can to accommodate all requests but there may be some limitations.We do not make any accommodation for any student that does not have a medical form on file with our department. The Food Service Department is unable to track students with food allergies unless we have the Special Diet Statement Form on file. Please email the food service department with questions.

Visit the Food Services Webpage for more information. Detailed food ingredients and allergen information can be found on the Nutrislice page linked below.
