New and Returning Student Registration
Please take note! Due to planning needs for health and safety, we cannot accommodate walk-up student enrollments on the same day. However, we have an online enrollment system that will allow you to complete necessary information from home. You may call our office for assistance or to make an appointment to use one of our computers. Once your enrollment is complete, the campus will reach out to you regarding your child’s schedule and any needed next steps. We will require up to 5 business days to redesign bus routes to add your child to transportation. You will be contacted when a bus schedule is available, but please make other arrangements for your child’s transportation until that time.
Visitor Information for First Day of School
We welcome all families to walk their children to the classroom door on the first day of school!
- The campus will open to visitors from 7:15 am to 7:40 am for the first day of school!
- After the first day of school, due to BCISD visitor changes, visitors will be required to check in at the front office. Please see more information below about visitor procedures that will be in place from August 18-Sept 18, 2021.
Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan
How do I request a change in transportation?
- Submit an email on the same day as the transportation change request by 1:30pm to: sge-transportation@burnetcisd.net
- Include the following details in the email:
-student's full name
-student's grade level
-student's homeroom teacher
-the transportation change you want made for today (bus to car, car to bus, etc)
In order to ensure a smooth dismissal process for all students, requests made after 1:30pm will not be processed. Notes, phone calls, text messages and emails sent to any other email will not be processed.
Car Line Procedures at SGE
Make sure to be in the correct grade level line. Parents of pre-k and kindergarten students should enter the lane that is on the far right. Parents of 1st and 2nd graders should enter the middle lane.
Please do not cross the grey box until after 3:15pm. SGE uses a system called CarRiderPro. CarRiderPro is a safe and efficient way to streamline the dismissal of car riding students at the end of the school day. Students are issued a tag for their car. Similar to the way a TxTag is scanned as it passes under a card reader, CarRiderPro scans the car tags as they pull through the line which then cues students inside the building to line up. The card reader starts reading car tags at 3:15.
Hang your car tag on the rearview mirror with the numbers facing out so personnel can read it.
Car seats - If your child is in a car seat, please position the seat nearest the sidewalk side of your car (back seat, passenger side). If your student needs help buckling, please pull up beyond the car lines to assist as to avoid holding up the line.
Watch for the person directing traffic. The person directing traffic will send cars from each lane and will alternate between lanes.
Stay in your car and in the car line. Even if you forgot your car tag, stay in line and we will come to you to check your ID. If your child has loaded the car, please stay in the car line and wait for the wave of cars to pull forward rather than pulling around them.
No in-person pick-up after 3:00pm until the car line is finished. As we work to dismiss our students in a timely and orderly fashion, we must keep the front entry/exit doors uncrowded. As a result, parents needing to check their students out must do so before 3:00pm or after the car line is finished.
