The Weekly Wildcat ROAR

All visitors to the building must successfully pass through the weapons detection system before being able to access the front office. Visitors should always have their ID on hand for entry or to sign a student out. Only those listed in PowerSchool will be granted access to students.

Changes to transportation can only be taken in writing. We cannot take changes via phone call. Students cannot be signed out from the front office after 2:00PM.

Registration forms for Good News Club will be coming home soon. Please be on the lookout and return those if interested in participating. If your student will begin staying for Good News Club (Tuesdays), please send a transportation note for those days. Good News Club will begin in September.

Thank you for your support of BES!
