FROM the DESK OF the Principal
Dear Parents,
We are off to a great start of the 2018-2019 school year. Our first week of school was awesome. Our little ones are getting used to the building while our returning students are helping new students learn the Benefield way.
I want to take this opportunity to address arrival and dismissal processes. Our first bell will ring at 8:20 a.m., with the second bell at 8:45 a.m. to signal the start of the school day. Dismissal will be at 3:15 p.m. for car riders, day care and YMCA students. Bus dismissal will start at 3:20 p.m. Parents choosing to drive their child to school must use the “parent drop-off/pick-up area” which is located on the side of the school. Parents can access the drop off/pick up area by using the entrance located on Riverside Parkway. Cars are not permitted to enter through the front entrance on Old Norcross Road during bus arrival and dismissal (8:00 a.m. - 8:45 a.m. and 2:50 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.)
It continues to be an honor and privilege to serve as the principal of such an exemplary and student centered learning community. I feel extremely fortunate to be working with such an exceptional group of students, families, and staff members. I look forward to continuing our work together as we support the Benefield community.
On behalf of the Benefield Elementary faculty and staff, I thank you for trusting us with your amazing children. In return, we promise to do our very best to teach them and keep them safe.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school at (770) 962-3771. If you have not signed up to receive text messages from the school, please text 81010 and enter @parentsbes in the message field.
