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. This includes visitors who may enter the building for programs and events. 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.

Thank you for your support of BES!
