Parking for football games at BMS
Please be sure to park in the BMS parking lots--either in the front of the building or in the back near the concession stand (this lot is the easiest for accessibility purposes--wheelchairs and other mobility concerns). We ask that you are respectful of our neighboring businesses and of the BAT, and not park in their parking lots. Thank you!

CAR RIDER TRAFFIC PATTERN--DROP OFF AND PICK UP--EARLY BIRDS TOO!
Traffic pattern/directions for all car riders (pick up and drop off)--early birds too!
CAR RIDER REMINDERS:
All cars will enter and exit from Manhattan. Please do not use Pearl Rd to enter or exit--this cuts off other parents who have waited in the correct line up.
BMS WILL OPEN AT 7:00 FOR EARLY BIRDS WHO HAVE CLASS AT 7:20. DOORS WILL THEN BE LOCKED--for safety and security reasons.
AT 7:40, DOORS WILL OPEN AGAIN FOR ALL OTHER STUDENTS. Please do not drop students off before 7:40, as the doors will be locked. Students will not be supervised outside prior to 7:40, Thank you!
Students may enter the building at 7:40. If you wait until 8:00 to drop students off, there may be a a line up, causing students to be tardy. We do keep an eye on the traffic line, but please be mindful of this. Thank you!
Please always pull forward to the first cone--even if the weather is bad. This allows more cars in the lot and prevents a back up on Pearl and Manhattan. This applies to Early Birds too!
Kids should be ready to exit the car safely and quickly. Again, this helps to alleviate the traffic back up.
Please reach out with questions or concerns. Thank you--it takes everyone's cooperation to make this run smoothly! 330.273.0500 or to Mrs. Palchesko, Principal at spalchesko@bcsoh.org
