Parking Lot Procedures
I have included a map of the school and parking lot to assist you with this new process. Please follow the parking lot procedures below...
PASSING LANE: this lane is solely for passing NOT dropping off children. Please DO NOT use this lane to drop off your children.
*buses will now load and unload in the bus lane located in the north parking lot
*the drop off lane will be located in the south parking lot
*cars will pull in the entrance and drive around the south parking lot loop
*students are asked to be seated on the passenger side of the car
*students are asked to be ready to exit the vehicle once it is stopped (backpack / lunch on lap)
*once your car is stopped, your child(ren) can exit the car and walk to their door
*cars will then proceed through and exit the parking lot

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES...

Device Insurance
The cost of device insurance has increased from $15.00 to $17.50 per student. The Payschools website has changed to Payschools Central. In order to purchase the device insurance parents will need their child(ren) student ID number (which can be found on the report card) and create a NEW Payschools Central account. The directions for creating an account can be found at: https://www.uticak12.org/domain/85
Please note that the final date to enroll in the optional device insurance plan is Friday, September 8th.

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
School officially begins at 9:00 AM. Students may begin lining up at their designated locations and supervision begins at 8:50 AM.
*There are TWO separate lot loops. The NORTH lot will be the designated BUS LOOP and the SOUTH lot will be the DROP OFF LOOP.
Arrival Procedures:
- Students will line up outside their designated main door beginning at 8:50 until the doors open.
- The drop off lane in the parking lot will allow students to exit vehicles on the passenger side and walk to their line up spot.
- Supervision does not begin until 8:50. Parents DO NOT leave your child unattended or drop them in the drop off lane prior to our supervision times.
Dismissal:
Walkers/car riders/pickups will be dismissed from their door locations at 3:50 PM. At the 3:50 bell, teachers (or safety/service squad students) will walk all lower grade bus students to their bus for departure.
Security Procedures
We are asking for your assistance to ensure that our security procedures during the school day are effective. As many of you know, our school has a security camera, intercom, and buzzer at the front main entrance for use during the school day. To help us assist you when you would like to enter the school:
1. Please press the buzzer to speak with someone in the office
2. You will be asked to state your name and reason for visiting
3. You may be asked to show your photo ID into the security camera above the outside door
4. Office staff will then be able to buzz you inside
5. All visitors must immediately register in the office
In addition, we are asking you to not let any visitors in the door as you enter (and they come up behind you) or as you exit the building.
The teachers and staff are committed to student safety and security and we would like to thank you for your assistance in helping keep the students of Beacon Tree safe.
